Rancho Cordova, California, United States
What it is
neep is computer software that reduces noise on both sides of voice and video calls. For microphone audio, it removes sounds such as barking dogs, keyboard noise, fans, and lawn equipment. Users can register their voice so nearby voices are reduced while theirs stays prominent. neep can also reduce background noise from another caller and remove echo caused by a poor microphone or a returning voice. It works with applications that allow microphone selection, with setup guides for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Discord, and RingCentral. Processing runs locally on the user’s device. neep says cloud access is limited to login and license verification, and that it does not record, store, or share call audio. The software supports Linux, macOS, and Windows; Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 10, and Fedora 37 are listed as minimum Linux versions. Plans include $9 a year billed at $9/user/mo annually with a 14-day trial, or $12 a month.
