AI noise cancellation for clearer calls
Krisp is a Windows audio utility designed for one very common problem: unwanted noise during online calls, recordings, streams, and voice chats. Instead of asking everyone around you to stay quiet, it uses AI-based noise cancellation to help separate your voice from background sounds.
The app works with microphones, headsets, and speakers, and it is built to fit into a wide range of communication setups. It supports more than 800 apps, including common meeting tools such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. In everyday use, its appeal is straightforward: enable noise removal, then speak or listen with fewer distractions from barking dogs, children, household appliances, traffic, or other environmental sounds.
One of Krisp’s strongest advantages is that it can reduce noise on both the microphone side and the speaker side. That means it can help clean up what others hear from you, while also making incoming audio easier for you to follow. This is especially useful for remote workers, online teachers, podcasters, streamers, and anyone who spends a lot of time in meetings.
Privacy is another reassuring point. Krisp processes audio locally on the device, so your voice and call audio are not sent away for noise cleanup. For users handling business conversations or regular client calls, that local processing approach is a meaningful benefit.
There are limits to keep in mind. The free personal plan is useful for occasional calls, but it only includes 120 minutes of microphone and speaker noise removal per week. Heavy users will likely need the Personal Pro plan, while small teams can use a Teams option for up to 50 seats. Larger organizations, including call center environments, are better matched with the Enterprise plan. Also, speaker-side noise muting may have minor imperfections.
Overall, Krisp is best for people who need clearer communication from imperfect spaces. If background noise regularly disrupts your calls, it is a practical and focused tool for making conversations easier to hear and easier to manage.
