I'm often thinking the same, and am only aware of a single popular library doing that: rnnoise [0] This library combines "classic" digital signal processing with a smaller RNN. As a result, it's smaller, faster and probably also has less uncanny edge cases than approaches that use an RNN for the complete processing chain. I think many use cases could benefit from this approach. [0] https://jmvalin.ca/demo/rnnoise/ https://jmvalin.ca/demo/rnnoise/
