AI Cleans Voice From Noise
We are thrilled to share a groundbreaking development in communication technology that is set to redefine clarity in Intercom conversations worldwide.?In emergency situations like accidents on the road or in a factory, every second counts. If background noise or echo effects distort the spoken word or make it completely unintelligible, people’s health or even lives are at stake.
We have been putting our long-standing expertise and a lot of research into the issue, presenting our new AI-powered ‘Cleans Voice from Noise’ technology as the game-changing solution to the background noise problem. Using an AI-based technique known as ‘deep neural networks’, the solution is able to eliminate background noise and enhance the voice signal to an amazing quality level. The result is similar to direct face-to-face communication in a noise-free environment.
Learn more about how it works and take a look at the demo-video in this newsletter, showcasing the difference between standard transmission and our ‘Cleans Voice from Noise’ technology.

Your Team Commend
TRUSTED VOICE – Trusted. Communication. Always.
To actually clean voice from noise, we worked in close research cooperation with the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. With joint forces we have been able to significantly optimize the signal processing of our Intercom module im3 and the Intercom station od1. The result is a voice profile that shines with an unprecedented level of clarity and intelligibility, much like a high-quality transmission in a noiseless environment.
HOW IT WORKS?
The secret to this remarkable achievement lies in so-called “deep neural networks”. Deep Neural Networks are like interconnected networks of artificial brain cells that learn from data to solve various kinds of problems, similar to how our brains learn from experiences to make decisions.?They ensure that the voice signals during calls are cleaned completely from ambient noise and echoes during transmission. We encourage you to hear the exceptional result for yourself:

WHY IS THIS A SENSATION??
We have always been proud of our high-quality voice transmission. With the trained neural networks we have now raised the quality mark even higher for our Trusted Voice. Any residual noise is suppressed to near perfection, as the result of a comprehensive training process using standardized machine learning algorithms. By feeding them countless hours of audio data, they are systematically ‘taught’ the desired recognition capability. The neural network now reacts with extreme precision to the many different challenges of everyday life – things like different voices and a wide spectrum of ambient noise in a variety of situations.
AN AWARD-WINNING SOLUTION?
The impact of this new technology within our industry cannot be overstated.?The new ‘Cleans Voice from Noise’ solution not only caused a sensation among users in pilot installations, but also at the international security trade show and exhibition, ISC West, in Las Vegas. For the second time in a row, the expert jury of the US Security Industry Association chose a Commend product as the winner of their prestigious “Best in Communication and Networking Solutions” award. We are very grateful for this recognition.
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH COOPERATION?
At Commend, our innovation thrives through close collaboration with leading experts from universities and research institutes, utilizing cutting-edge research to develop groundbreaking solutions. Together with Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, we integrated advanced?noise level measurement?technology in cities, allowing them to quickly recognise and respond to potential threats to ensure rapid assistance in critical situations. The Intercom systems can distinguish between normal urban noise and unusual disturbances such as traffic accidents or unexpected social unrest. If?anomalies?are detected, the system displays the location at the control center and?triggers an alarm.
