Companies have scrambled to facilitate users with new functions and features to add value to their products. Google Duo made by Google has also such an amazing tool that people use for online communication with each other with its amazing video calling services.
Coronavirus disease has spread all over the world and most of the world is living in their homes in self-isolation mode. All the communication has come down to using an online platform to connect to the near and dear ones. In such an unprecedented situation everybody wishes to have a good quality-oriented call experience.
When talking about calls everybody is concerned about the quality of video call and different apps are available for Android and iPhone. They vary about the quality of the call, most of the top apps require internet like WhatsApp and Skype, and Duo made by Google is also one of these apps.
According to experts, 99% of all video calls have some data loss and 8% of the calls lose audio data. Google aims to improve the quality of calls for countries where there’s a problem of bandwidth and slow internet. Google wants to make your call’s privacy protected and guarantee an end to end data encryption.
Google is constantly working on new features and updates in the app and the latest feature of Google is the addition of machine learning algorithms into their app. For this Google is working on new technology to improve the quality of an audio call, and it’s called WaveNetEQ.
Google’s DeepMind division is already working on it, most of the noise on audio call is created by the audio jitter and Google aims to solve it by applying machine learning algorithms replacing audio jitter with the voice of a human. During an audio call, most of the packets of data are lost and google will reduce this loss with AI techniques. Google says, “Because Duo calls are end-to-end encrypted, all processing needs to be done on the device.”
Google launched this feature on Pixel 4 devices in Dec 2019, the same will be applied to other mobile models but Pixel devices will be first to have it. Google is also going to shut its local community app on May 12.
