There is new noise in my environment. Will Krisp cancel it?

Krisp Noise Cancellation works by distinguishing human voice from all other sounds. So, with the introduction of the new noise, it will take Krisp at most a few seconds to start cleaning out. You can test how the noise is cleared from your environment with the Test Noise Cancellation feature.

 

I am standing far from my microphone. Will Krisp capture my voice and cancel the noise?

Krisp works best within a distance of 50cm. If you are standing farther than that, expect that your voice might be distorted.


What to do if the noise is not canceled as expected?

If you notice that the noise/voice cancellation is not done correctly, you can send a report from the same window.
