Krisp

Krisp is an AI-powered audio tool that eliminates background noise, enhances voice clarity, and acts as a smart meeting assistant for virtual calls. It creates a noiseless communication layer by processing microphone and speaker audio in real time, ensuring both sides of a conversation remain crystal clear. Designed for professionals and teams, Krisp integrates with any calling or conferencing app to deliver distraction-free online meetings, interviews, recordings, and more. Beyond pure noise cancellation, it includes automatic transcription, meeting notes, and even real-time accent localization to improve global communication. With a strong focus on privacy and ease of use, Krisp helps you sound your best no matter where you are.

• AI Noise Cancellation: Uses advanced algorithms to remove background noises (dogs barking, keyboard clicks, traffic, children playing) from both your microphone and the audio you hear from others, in real time.
• Voice Clarity: Cleans up voice by eliminating echoes, room reverberation, and overlapping background voices so your speech comes through crisp and natural.
• AI Meeting Assistant: Automatically transcribes your meetings, generates concise notes and highlights, and saves audio recordings – all accessible within the app after the call.
• Accent Localization: A unique Pro feature that dynamically adjusts an agent’s accent to sound closer to the listener’s native accent, improving comprehension in international support or sales calls.
• Universal Compatibility: Works as a virtual audio device with any communication application – Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, Skype, and more.
• Privacy-Centric Design: Noise cancellation runs locally on your device, and the platform is built to keep conversations confidential (cloud features have clear privacy disclosures).

1. Download and Install: Visit the Krisp website, download the correct version for your Windows or macOS device (Intel or M1/M2), and install it.
2. Select Your Physical Devices: Open Krisp and choose the physical microphone and speaker/headphones you use. Krisp creates virtual audio devices named “Krisp Microphone” and “Krisp Speaker.”
3. Configure Your Calling App: In your preferred communication app (Zoom, Teams, etc.), set the speaker to “Krisp Speaker” and the microphone to “Krisp Microphone” from the audio settings.
4. Toggle Noise Cancellation: In the Krisp interface, enable noise cancellation on the Microphone and/or Speaker toggle. You can turn it on or off independently for each direction.
5. Activate Meeting Assistant (Optional): For transcription and notes, turn on the AI Meeting Assistant before or during a call. Recordings and transcripts will appear in the Krisp app history.
6. Join Your Call and Test: Start a meeting or call. You can use the built-in test call feature to verify that background noise is being suppressed and your voice sounds clean.

Krisp follows a freemium model. The Free Tier includes unlimited AI noise cancellation for personal use on supported platforms. Premium capabilities – such as the AI Meeting Assistant, accent localization, and advanced meeting summaries – are part of the Pro Tier. Exact Pro pricing is typically disclosed on request or during sign-up on the Krisp website. Teams and enterprises can also inquire about custom volume-based plans. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing details, always refer to the official Krisp pricing page.

• Desktop Apps: Native applications for Windows (10 and later, Intel and ARM) and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), providing full access to all features.
• Virtual Audio Devices: Integrates universally as a virtual microphone and speaker, so it works with any VoIP, conferencing, or recording software.
• Communication App Compatibility: Pre-tested with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype, Discord, and many others – no additional plugins required.
• Developer SDK: A software development kit available for enterprises and developers to embed Krisp’s noise cancellation directly into their own products.
• Mobile Availability: Currently, the primary offering is desktop-focused. Check the official Krisp website for any mobile beta programs or companion app releases.

• Maintain a Stable Internet Connection: Krisp’s AI processing relies on an active connection; poor bandwidth can degrade noise cancellation and cause audio dropouts.
• Close Resource-Heavy Applications: On older or underpowered machines, shut down unnecessary programs to prevent Krisp from competing for CPU or memory, ensuring smoother performance.
• Do a Pre-Call Sound Check: Use Krisp’s testing tool before important meetings to confirm the virtual devices are set correctly and noise suppression is active.
• Combine Transcription with Note Review: After a call, skim the automatic notes and transcript to quickly extract action items and decisions without manual summarization.
• Use Accent Localization Intentionally: If you’re working across global teams, enable accent localization for better understanding, but first test that it works well with your language pair and that it doesn’t alter your intended vocal tone.
• Keep Krisp Updated: Regular updates introduce AI improvements and new features; update the app whenever prompted to maintain peak performance.

• Remote and Hybrid Workers who want to eliminate household or coworking space noises and sound professional on every call.

• Creators and Podcasters needing a simple, real-time noise removal solution for live streaming, recording, or remote interviews.
• Online Educators and Trainers who deliver classes, webinars, or coaching sessions where background disruptions can harm learning retention.
• Business Professionals (consultants, salespeople, executives) who rely on impeccable first impressions and want automatic meeting documentation.
• Developers and Product Teams that need an SDK to embed Krisp’s noise cancellation into their own communication applications or custom call-center software.
