Solicall says it designed the software to filter out sounds such as like keyboard sounds or traffic. The software is said to work "out-of-the-box," and to work better if the user records a voice sample for analysis. Afterwards, it will suppress not only background noise, but also other speakers, according to the company.
The product is provided in the form of a software development kit (SDK) that can be used to enhance a system's normal sound driver. Solicall Mobile should be placed in the audio path between a phone's AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) and codec, according to Solicall.
Solicall Mobile enhances transmissions from the phone on which it is resident, and can also remove non-human sounds from calls being received. Touted advantages include better sound quality, the potential for reduced power consumption, and more economical bandwidth usage.
