Startup touts noise elimination software for mobile phones

 

Cypher CEO John Walker told FoxNews.com that his company has created a software algorithm that effectively strips out background noise on mobile phones. 

 

 â€œWe have created a stencil for the human voice,” he said.  “We take the incoming audio stream, put it through our filter and just take the human voice of the primary speaker.”

 

Cypher says that its technology can slash background noise by 99 percent and boost audio quality by 20 percent. The software certainly performed well when it was recently tested by FoxNews.com.

Can they distinguish between people though?  Because half the time the background noise problem is other people talking.

What if you want someone to hear the background noise? Like when tank goes to see one direction, and he calls his friends to let them know how cool he is

and for the 30th time, i apologize for not calling you from the concert, hollywood. i figured getting you that limited edition t-shirt (one of only 50,000,000 being sold at the arena) would be apology enough. what more do you want from me, a pound of flesh?!?!?
