The answer is that in most cases the background noise is very disturbing in conference calls. Is there a solution ?
I recently heard about SoliCall – Noise Reduction Software and Recorder. I have convinced my friends to use it and now, after all of us installed SoliCall, it significantly reduced most of the disturbing background noise. Don’t expect it to totally remove the noise … this is a free software not a magician… but the overall quality of our calls is much better now. BTW, as a bonus, SoliCall can also record your calls …
I can’t understand what you refer to, Tim. :confused: I use YM voice-enabled conference every day, with never any problem of noise or bad sound quality (unless someone there has a TV or something in the background, OR has a shonky mic/sound card).
I have tried Solicall though (from your post elsewhere here) – and while I quite like the recording feature (though it doesn’t appear to apply for conferences, only 1-on-1 “calls”), I haven’t as yet noticed any difference whatsoever in sound quality.
But still keeping an open mind… watching and waiting. 😉
Eagle Kiwi, I hear you, but the recording feature DOES work with YIM. I’ve tried it myself a couple of times. However, I did notice that when I invite all the participants to join at once, Yahoo has a bug that makes it work through Microsoft audio devices and not through Solicall. So the solution is to invite people separately (i.e. start a regular call and then add more people).
Re the sound quality, you got it right, if there are no bg noises, then there is nothing to reduce. But in my case, my friends sometimes have more than one disturbing noise (kids, radio etc.) and that’s when I can tell the difference. With one of my friends it even helped with excessive echo problems that he had.
Cheers,
Tim
