# Noise Cancellation for Real-Time Voice Channel

### **Overview:**

\
Integrate Third party noise cancellation technology into iX Hello Customer’s real-time voice channel to enhance **voice quality and user experience**. This integration ensures clear, uninterrupted voice communication between users and AI voicebots by filtering out background noise automatically.

#### **Feature Description:**

#### iX Hello Customer Voice Channel: Noise Suppression Integration

* The iX Hello Customer voice channel will integrate **third-party tools** via **SDKs/APIs** to enable AI-powered noise suppression for live voice interactions.
* Audio streams will be processed **in real time**, removing unwanted ambient sounds such as:
  * Background chatter
  * Keyboard typing
  * Fan noise
  * Other environmental disturbances
* Only **clear, natural human speech** will be transmitted to participants.
* The noise cancellation feature will operate **seamlessly within the existing real-time voice flow**, ensuring:
  * No perceptible latency
  * No impact on system performance
* Users will have the ability to **configure noise cancellation options** at the **bot level**, based on:
  * Performance requirements
  * Use-case preferences
