{"id":81420,"title":"nCompass Technologies: Realtime audio denoising","tagline":"nCompass's newest model is a realtime audio denoiser that can remove voices from the background of audio streams.","body":"**tl;dr** nCompass has released the world’s first **Realtime Audio Denoising API** that can remove background voices from your audio stream in real time. Try it out for free on our website [here](https://www.ncompass.tech/about).\n\nToday, the world is increasingly interacting with AI models using voice. Apps and tools that rely on voice input need to be able to successfully separate background voices from the main speaker’s voice. However, this is not the case with existing voice AI products such as Deepgram’s speech-to-text (STT) converter.\n\nCheck out this demo below that shows how using nCompass’s denoiser can enable transcription tools (such as Deepgram’s STT) to be used in previously unusable scenarios.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81420\u0026key=user_uploads/1641909/61bc7f02-4a23-4ab2-b7fc-cd2a8ad3b01e)\n\nWe have two versions of this denoiser that you can try out for free on our [website](https://www.ncompass.tech/about).\n\n1. [Offline denoising + transcription](https://www.ncompass.tech/cleaner_transcription/interactive_demo) mode, which generates cleaner transcriptions when paired with any speech-to-text provider.\n2. [Realtime audio denoising,](https://www.ncompass.tech/realtime_denoising/interactive_demo) which can take in an audio stream and remove background voices in real time. You can now get the sound quality of a private booth, regardless of where you are!","slug":"LBE-ncompass-technologies-realtime-audio-denoising","created_at":"2024-06-11T16:23:04.390Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T00:19:51.256Z","total_vote_count":24,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/LBE-ncompass-technologies-realtime-audio-denoising","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=81420\u0026key=user_uploads/1641909/61bc7f02-4a23-4ab2-b7fc-cd2a8ad3b01e","company":{"id":29266,"name":"nCompass Technologies","slug":"ncompass-technologies","url":"https://www.ncompass.tech","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ec22cfec2eb1602e4ae48a85862a05e4be149771.png","batch":"Winter 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Developer Tools","Hardware","Open Source"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29266"}}
