While phones like the iPhone have microphones capable of eliminating ambient noise, to have conversations with greater clarity and clarity, other devices that are not designed to hold conversations, such as the case of Mac, it does not have specific hardware to eliminate noise.
To improve our conversations with the Mac, the guys from 2Hz have created an application capable of eliminating ambient noise in a conversation. And logically they have done it all for software and artificial intelligence.
What this application allows is, to collect the sound of our microphone and through historical sounds, to be able to distinguish the sounds of a conversation, from the environmental sounds of any environment, to separate and eliminate the latter. In this whole process, learning and artificial intelligence help enormously.
Moreover, the operation of Krips is quite simple. After installing the application, we must select Krips as the audio input and output in the configuration of the application with which we want to communicate: FaceTime, Skype, etc. In Skype, the configuration follows the following path: Configuration- Audio and Video. In FaceTime it's under Video Menu. Another important part is the elimination of noise, both from our Mac, and the one we receive from our interlocutor, whether or not the application is installed.
In different tests carried out, both with Skype between a Mac and an iPad or FaceTime between a Mac and an iPhone, we found excellent sound quality. By the way, noises were played, like slapping or slapping, but the interlocutor was not able to hear the noise generated. In addition, the noises are completely eliminated, but the voice does not suffer any attenuation, not even the voice of interlocutors who are next to the main interlocutor.
The last advantage that Krips gives us is its price. A day of writing the article Krips is free and it can be used with Skype, FaceTime, WebEx, Hangouts, among many others. The application you can Download from the developer's website.
