*nods* When in the home office, I use my podcasting setup (headphones, dedicated mic, ran through some software to clean up a bit more.)

You’d think that acoustic echo cancellation was settled science, and you’d be wrong. There are so many bad quality speakerphones and conference phones. Further, so many software engineers (yes, you Google!) think they have some special insight. Their stuff is just as bad as others. Worse because it can be variable. Bottom line is, if you must hear and be heard well…when it really matters….use a headset.

Yes, I'm sure the complaints received for the above are non-null. That's how much faith I have in customers. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Bray via VoiceOps" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2021 4:36:55 PM Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Call Quality On 14/06/2021 22:25, Mike Hammett wrote: > One of the concerns I heard was echo.

Dodgy speaker phone, poor plastic design of the phone, DSP not doing echo cancellation. Or too much end to end latency - if it is quick enough, you don't notice. Could be loads of things. Quite often with third party USB or bluetooth `speaker phones` -- Tim Bray Huddersfield, GB [email protected] _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
