What is Krisp?
Krisp is an AI noise cancellation application that sits between your microphone and any calling or recording software — removing background noise, echo and room reverb in real time, so your voice comes through clearly regardless of environment. It works with any calling app (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Slack) and recording software without any configuration on their side.
Krisp has become widely used by remote workers, podcasters and anyone taking calls from busy environments — cafes, open-plan offices or home settings with background noise. The AI processes audio locally, meaning calls aren't routed through external servers for noise removal.
