STAMFORD, Conn., May 3, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Noise and Acoustic Echo Cancellation for Dramatically Improved
Intelligibility
NCT Group, Inc. (OTCBB: NCTI) announced that Delphi Automotive Systems (NYSE:
DPH) has licensed the Company's ClearSpeech(R) noise, acoustic echo and live
echo cancellation algorithms for use in their Mobile Multi Media (MMM) Computing
Platform for hands-free cellular communications.
NCTI's patented ClearSpeech algorithm cancels 95% of background road, tire,
wind, engine and traffic noise from hands-free communications, allowing the
party receiving the communication to hear voice more clearly.
"We believe that ClearSpeech technology offers the best solution available to
the noise and echo problems of hands-free full-duplex communications, and we
believe that it will one day be standard in all automobiles," said Michael J.
Parrella, chairman and chief executive officer, NCTI.
The ClearSpeech noise reduction algorithm is designed to remove noise from an
input speech signal to improve voice quality. The algorithm is adaptive--as
background noise changes in either frequency or amplitude, ClearSpeech continues
to cancel the noise for consistent performance. The ClearSpeech Acoustic Echo
Cancellation algorithm cancels acoustic echo, a problem common to cellular phone
hands-free communications.
