The global workforce has seen a seismic shift in businesses supporting fully remote or part-time in-office arrangements since the beginning of the COVID health pandemic. As the workforce participates from home, undesirable background noises such as lawnmowers or barking dogs disrupt their communication sessions. Furthermore, the ability to eliminate these disruptions requires the workforce to use certain phones or purchase proprietary software.
“Our award-winning noise suppression technology, Amazon Voice Focus, uses pre-trained deep machine learning to remove unwanted environmental and background noises that clutter calls,” said Sid Rao, General Manager, Amazon Chime SDK at AWS. “We are excited that Inteliquent is making this unique capability of the Amazon Chime SDK available to their customers on any of the more than 100 million phone numbers on their network.”
