Krisp
A real time AI noise cancellation app that mutes background noise during calls and recordings before it ever hits the track.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
Krisp sits between your microphone and whatever app you're using, whether that's Zoom, a recording tool, or a DAW's input, and strips out background noise like keyboard clatter, barking dogs, or traffic using a real time AI model.
It's popular with remote workers, but for podcasters it solves a real production headache, a guest recording from a noisy apartment or coffee shop can sound dramatically cleaner without any editing after the fact.
Because it works live, it occasionally clips the leading edge of a word or introduces small processing artifacts on unusual sounds, this is a live filter, not a surgical repair tool.
Best used as a first line of defense before recording, alongside, not instead of, actual post production cleanup for anything that still slips through.
