hi all,
delivering clear speech is essential for effective modern communication systems. However, factors such as background noise, reverberation, speech capture and sound reproduction quality, and network impairments can degrade speech quality and hinder understanding. At Webex, we are committed to providing exceptional, reliable, high-fidelity communication systems to our customers. Through significant investments in AI-based speech enhancement technologies like Background Noise Removal and Optimize for my/all voice(s), we have greatly enhanced the user experience on Webex.
But, now we are taking this one step further by introducing a groundbreaking technology: Webex AI Codec.
This AI-based speech codec achieves outstanding quality at remarkably low bitrates and demonstrates robustness against network impairments. The result is a remarkably resilient communication system that enables noise-free, high-fidelity, and crystal-clear speech communication.
But instead of trying to describe this, would suggest you to check this in action -->

Ok nice but how is this triggered? Do I have it to enable this manually as a user?
No worries on that aspect. Webex AI Codec will be triggered automatically, when experiencing poor network quality with over 30% packet loss, whether collaborating using the Webex App on your desktop or mobile, ensuring that that you can hear and be heard clearly.
Interesting, where I can find more details?
