Overview
Krisp is best known for real-time AI noise cancellation. As of 2026 it has evolved beyond pure noise removal into a full voice AI platform with meeting transcription, AI notetaking, accent conversion, and AI Live Interpreter (speech-to-speech translation). All audio processing runs locally on your device, giving it a strong privacy story.
Key Features
1. Industry-Leading Noise Cancellation
Tests show noise reduction of over 40 dB, effectively silencing keyboard clicks, barking dogs, construction noise, air conditioners, and traffic. It handles both steady background noise and intermittent sounds like typing and chair movement.
2. Local Processing for Privacy
Unlike cloud-based competitors, Krisp runs all audio processing on device using ML models, so sensitive conversations never leave your machine.
3. AI Live Interpreter (Speech-to-Speech Translation)
Real-time speech translation during meetings, letting global teams talk across languages without a human interpreter.
4. Accent Conversion
In 2026 Krisp added a Latin American English accent pack, strengthening its feature that lets non-native speakers speak with a natural English accent.
5. AI Notetaker
Alongside noise cancellation, Krisp records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings. Because it operates at the audio-device level it works in Zoom, Teams, Meet, phone apps — any calling app.
