Single microphone and a small AI algorithm cancel noise in speech/audio

AONDevices launched what it calls as groundbreaking AONDenoise – a compact, efficient edge AI denoising technology. Targeting applications such as hearing aids, wireless earbuds, smartphones, and wearables, this AI noise killer use minimal power and latency. AONDenoise is also claimed as one of the smallest denoising algorithms available. AONDevices explains "Traditionally, AI speech enhancement is performed using arrays of multiple microphones, beamforming and large Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms. This method, currently implemented in today’s smartphones and other devices, requires huge amounts of memory and power, which is costly. Through its state-of-the-art, AI-based denoiser, AONDevices is addressing these concerns – and leading the way forward into a new era of edge AI." on the uniqueness of this tech. AONDevices said it is expanding its focus to include innovations in human-human interfaces. With just 50K parameters, the AONDenoise solution is one of the most compact denoising algorithms on the market, claims AONDevices. Compared to traditional DSP noise reduction methods, this tech is significantly smaller and at least an order of magnitude smaller than current AI-based denoisers. The AONDenoise solution is designed to address the need for customizable noise cancellation in ultra-low power, real-time processing devices, such as chips used for heari...
