Description
The Adaptive Digital noise reduction (NR) software reduces background noise in speech signals under such circumstances where the background sound intensity levels are high. The algorithm can be customized to trade off between complexity, memory requirements, and required noise reduction.
The user can configure noise cancellation to be more or less aggressive. Less aggressive settings reduce noise by a moderate amount while more aggressive settings reduce noise by a greater degree.
Applications
Noise reduction is an excellent choice for applications with high background noise environments. Applications include traditional, mobile, and hands-free telephone systems, conferencing, speech recognition, and alarm systems.
