MSI tool offers AI-based noise cancellation

MSI uploaded a trial version of Sound Tune, a new application that uses AI to enhance noise reduction. It works for your own microphone and it also improves the audio quality of the people you're listening to. It sounds a lot like the NVIDIA RTX Voice tool. The trial version can be downloaded over here, it's valid until June 30, 2020. The MSI page lists a number of eligible MSI laptops and desktops, it's unknown whether the tool also works on other systems.

MSI, a world leader in gaming and content creation hardware, unveils the MSI Sound Tune, an AI-powered noise cancellation software that filters out all the unwanted background noises to remarkably enhance users’ communication experiences. “MSI is constantly pushing the boundaries of technology. The new MSI Sound Tune breaks the traditional boundaries on noise reduction by integrating deep learning AI technology to audio signal processing, allowing users who have to work from home amid the global pandemic to communicate clearly and stay productive with their tasks,” said Harry Kao, MSI Technical Director.

MSI Sound Tune's AI-powered noise cancellation is achieved through Deep Neural Network (DNN) with more than 0.5 billion Synthetic Noisy Speech Data to help simulate the way human brain works. The traditional noise reduction technology, with its manually compiled algorithm, doesn’t work well in environments with complicated noise sources, such as keyboard noises, construction site noises, coffee shop whispers, or the loud noise that overwhelms the vocal sounds. Comparatively speaking, the MSI Sound Tune, utilizing human brains’ excellent ability to distinguish human vocal sounds from environmental noises, can extract the vocal sounds from complicated environments, giving users extra clear, noise-free commuication in various surroundings.
