   Echo has always been an issue for hearing impaired   
      
      
   Microsoft Teams now uses AI to improve echo, interruptions, and   
   acoustics   
      
      
   Your Teams calls should sound a lot better   
      
   Microsoft has spent the past two years adding flashy new productivity   
   features to Teams, and now the company is overhauling how the   
   fundamentals work thanks to AI. We've all been on a call where someone   
   has poor room acoustics making it hard to hear them, or seen two   
   people try to talk at the same time creating an awkward "no, you go   
   ahead" moment. Microsoft's new AI-powered voice quality improvements   
   should improve or even eliminate these day-to-day annoyances.   
      
   Microsoft is now using a machine learning models to improve room   
   acoustics so you'll no longer sound like you're hiding in a cave.   
   "While we have been trying our best with digital signal processing to   
   do a really good job in Teams, we have now started using machine   
   learning for the first time to build echo cancellation where you can   
   truly reduce echo from all the different devices," explains Robert   
   Aichner, a principal program manager for intelligent conversation and   
   communications cloud at Microsoft, in an interview with The Verge.
