Noise cancellation

Noise cancellation software enables clear communication by removing distracting background sounds from calls, improving focus and productivity.

Noise cancellation solutions help organizations enhance call quality by eliminating ambient noise from both the agent and customer sides. These solutions use AI and advanced algorithms to isolate voices, leading to better customer experiences, reduced agent fatigue, and more accurate data analysis.

The challenge

Your organization faces significant challenges due to background noise in customer interactions. Whether it\''s the cacophony of a busy contact center or the unpredictable sounds of remote work environments, noise creates inefficiencies and frustrations. Agents struggle to hear and be heard, leading to increased call times and decreased customer satisfaction. This auditory friction not only impacts your bottom line but also contributes to agent burnout and erodes brand trust, making noise cancellation a critical investment for improving overall customer experience.

The solution

Noise cancellation addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.

Bidirectional voice isolation

Removes noise from both the agent's and the customer's environments, ensuring clear communication regardless of the caller's location.

Adaptive AI spectral masking

Uses deep neural networks to identify and isolate human speech, surgically removing non-human sounds in real-time.

Integrated PCI/PII redaction

Detects and redacts sensitive information like credit card numbers and Social Security numbers directly from the audio stream for compliance.

Low-latency real-time processing

Processes audio with minimal delay (under 150ms) to prevent echo and maintain a natural conversation flow.

Automated call transcription pre-cleaning

Prepares audio specifically for automatic speech recognition engines, improving transcription accuracy in noisy environments.

CCaaS/UCaaS integration

Integrates seamlessly with existing telephony and contact center platforms for a zero-touch experience.

2

Security certifications

Ensure the vendor has verified HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

3

On-device processing

Prioritize solutions that process audio at the edge to minimize latency and data security risks.

4

VDI/thin client support

Confirm compatibility with virtual desktop infrastructure and legacy hardware for consistent performance across environments.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Noise cancellation RFP guide
  • How does your solution handle overlapping speech where background voices occur at the same frequency as the agent's voice?
  • What security certifications do you hold to ensure the privacy of customer data during audio processing?
  • Can you provide a performance benchmark showing your software's CPU and RAM footprint on a standard workstation under peak load?
  • What is your average time to value for an enterprise deployment of 5,000+ seats, and what specific IT resources are required from our side to achieve it?
