  • On October 7, 2018
Noise removal in a call center environment is a challenging task. As opposed to non-human ambient noise like street noise and car horn, the background noise in call centers is actually human voices of people talking in the background. When performing noise removal in a contact center environment the challenge is to identify which of […]

Echo Cancellation with negative echo tail

  • Posted by admin
  • On May 7, 2017
Background Echo path/tail is one of the most fundamental parameters when performing echo cancellation. In previous posts, we elaborated on the importance of echo tail and we also provided a Do It Yourself (DIY) method to calculate the echo tail. In most usage scenarios, the value of the echo tail will be a positive one […]

Noise reduction algorithms – PNR vs. RNR

  • Posted by admin
  • On January 3, 2017
Background Recently SoliCall introduced the reference-based noise reduction (RNR). This new technology was added to our noise reduction portfolio which already contained profile-based noise reduction (PNR) and standard noise reduction.  Following the RNR introduction, we got requests to elaborate on the difference between PNR and RNR as they both use a profile/learning mechanism. In this […]

Analyze the echo path yourself

  • Posted by admin
  • On September 4, 2016
Background The echo path is one of the most critical component during echo cancellation.  You might have already heard this term or any of its synonyms (e.g. “echo tail”). When discussing the echo path we usually talk about two different aspects: a. The stability of the echo path. How volatile is this parameter ? Is […]
