Especially in today’s coronavirus times — and I think even as we move forward — working from home is the norm. And even if we are in our traditional offices, often there are problems with unnecessary noise whenever we’re on a conference call or Zoom meeting.
You know. The neighbor’s dogs are barking — and this is a true one for me (they bark ALL day!) — street traffic, airplanes overhead, kids playing the other room, etc. Life happens.
Even something as simple as muting your microphone when you’re typing, especially useful for those loud typers out there. And you know who you are.
So how can you sound more professional and keep those background noises off your calls?
Here’s two tools — Unclack and Krisp.
Unclack
First, Unclack is a small Mac utility that mutes your microphone while you type. No more getting called out for clacking your way through a Zoom meeting on your clicky keyboard!
Unclack runs in your menu bar, quietly muting your mic when you’re actively typing. The small, unobtrusive mute indicator lets you know when active mute is on at a glance. Need to type while you talk? Simply pause Unclack from your menu bar to disable auto-mute. Helpful for occasional active collaborating like pair-programming where you need to type while you talk.
Krisp
With Krisp you can mute background noise in any communication app. With a single button, the background noise going from you to other call participants will be removed — and with a single button, the background noise coming from the call participants to you will be removed.
