Improving the sound
Can I remove echo or room reverb from a recording?
Partly. Enhance voice — the deep clean that runs on the server — reduces room echo along with noise and levels the loudness. The faster AI Noise Remover only targets steady noise (hiss, hum, room tone) and leaves echo alone. Neither can fully rescue a recording made in a bare, very reflective room.
Echo is your voice arriving twice, a few milliseconds apart, in the same waveform — a much harder thing to take out than a steady hiss. Enhance voice tames light-to-moderate room sound; heavy reflections from an empty, hard-walled room will still be audible afterwards.
What helps most is recording into something soft: a room with a rug, curtains and furniture, a mic closer to your mouth, and a body between the mic and the nearest bare wall. Fixing the room beats fixing the file.
