5 Tools to Simplify and Transform your Team’s Work From Home

Ed Yong truly eulogized the worldwide situation when he remarked, “We long to return to normal, but normal led to this.” There is more than just social, emotional, and humanitarian context to this statement. Adjusting to the “new normal” amidst the outcry of the pandemic, we have somewhere normalized the digitalization of operations at our personal end, even though companies worldwide are still trying to make the most out of it.  On one side, enterprises have benefitted from the cost-effectiveness of the hybrid working culture- part office and part work from home. But on the other significant end, the online working environment has also opened the doors to numerous challenges caused by miscommunication and resource inaccessibility. According to a study by Microsoft, “ 1 in 5 global survey respondents say their employer doesn’t care about their work-life balance. 54% feel overworked. 39% feel exhausted.” Further, the increased screen time on electronic devices has not only heightened th

Real-time Noise Suppression using Artificial Intelligence

As more and more people embrace remote working, the ‘new normal,’ there has been a spike in the adoption of active noise-cancelling technology . Since remote workers sometimes don’t control unnecessary and loud sounds in the background, noise-cancelling headphones or noise suppression software can be extremely helpful.  Active Noise Cancellation Technology is deemed necessary now, and not just for remote workers. Imagine waiting for your flight at the airport and having to take an urgent business call.  Tons of background noise clutter up your surroundings, starting from announcements to chatter, but taking the call is necessary, and your sound must be clear! Awkward and non-ideal situations like this are not uncommon for anyone.  Background noise is everywhere and causes disruption to work. That’s where  noise cancellation  technology comes into play. With this amazing advancement, you can now take calls anywhere without annoying background noise affecting your productivity.  Activ

The Future of Smart Noise Control for Sound Comfort

When it comes to noise reduction and noise control management in building design, passive,  active noise cancellation,  and noise suppression are all options. In a nutshell, active noise-cancelling technology utilizes the principle of wave phase cancellation.  Sounds are nothing but waves, and waves 180 degrees out of phase cancel out each other. Just like adding 1 and -1 together gives us zero, sounds inverted from one another cancel out. The concept behind the technology is to record ambient sound, invert the noise signals to create ‘anti-noise,’ and finally add it to the output signal, including music. The anti-noise signal is capable of neutralizing the background noise by the time it reaches the human ear. This technology has significantly evolved for personal use, but it offers complexity in integrating such as into larger spaces.  Apart from active noise reduction, passive noise cancellation is another approach to block sound. Such a method cancels sound without taking the help
