I use this https://krisp.ai/ https://krisp.ai/. There is a free tier, but it’s cheap at 60/year given that works pays for it. It’s been great. It works on PC and Macs. You can filter out noise on your end or the others persons end. I highly recommend it.

I have no horse in this race, but I’d like to push back on a $60 annual subscription for what’s essentially a static piece of software as ‘cheap.’ Since when did everything have to be paid for on a subscription basis?

  This is nothing new, "static" software with yearly licenses has always been around and if anything it's a guarantee that bugs will get fixed, features will get added and your data won't be sold to third parties.

  For a business this is basically free. You could honestly even think of it as a net-positive for some teams. Think of all of the times you were in a group meeting and somebody has to repeat themselves because someone else was typing, living next door to construction, ambulance drove by, etc. $300 / year for a team of 5 more than pays up for itself if you think of it in terms of hourly salary. For a $120k/year salaried engineer, effectively paid $60 / hour, you only need to save them 1 hour per year for this purchase to be financially worth it for the business. Not to mention the less tangible benefits like "being less distracted/stressed during meetings".

  Well, it's not particularly static. I get regular updates to the ML model (which is where the vast majority of the value comes in), and other updates that have been useful (the ability to sync mute status between hardware and software, so you don't get the infamous "double mute").

I tried krisp a year ago but aside from the price, if I'm remembering correctly the thing that scared me off of it was that it seemed to render japanese speech unintelligible, as if it had only been trained on english. The nvidia one is the best but the open source ones are probably also better than krisp.

I looked at Krisp but I felt the cost was a little high as work is not going to cover that expense for me.
