This is amazing! Full props to the Nvidia team that accomplished this.

I downloaded the Mac app they provided [1] which I highly suggest everyone with a mac tests out. I ran it on my old MacBook Air 2013 using daily.co. It worked like a charm. Definitely using this in the next group chat, where there is always someone who forgets to turn off their microphone.

One cool side effect is that it actually removes the reverberations that happen when you have two computers on the same call, where the mics keep picking up on the output of the other computers and a large high-frequency noise happens (that I'm sure we all have experienced). The system simply removed it and I didn't even know it was there until I turned off the app.

Amazing work and I really hope that Skype, Apple, Google etc implement this into their voice apps, or even phone providers build this into phones. Maybe in the future, we actually can have phone conversations in windy weather and on the streets.

Disclosure: I'm the author of the blog post and co-founder at 2Hz. This is a guest post on NVIDIA Developer Blog. The author of the technology is a startup called 2Hz (2hz.ai). Our passion is to improve voice audio quality in audio/video calls. It's a tough problem but also fun to work on.

Agree, breathing, reverb, noise are all problems and should be fixed. We started with noise and already shipped a product you can try on your Mac. The app is called Krisp (krisp.ai).

Reverb, breathing, voice cutting will come next.
