Krisp is a Voice AI platform founded in 2017 by Davit Baghdasaryan and Artavazd Minasyan, originally launched as a desktop app that removed background noise from calls in real time. The company has since expanded into a full voice intelligence stack covering noise cancellation, accent conversion, real-time voice translation, AI meeting transcription, and a developer SDK for embedding the same models inside third-party applications.
Krisp raised a $17.5 million Series B led by Storm Ventures in 2021. According to the company, its technology now ships on more than 200 million devices worldwide and processes over 80 billion minutes of voice conversations each month, with usage spanning individual professionals, distributed teams, BPOs, contact centers, and platform vendors. In 2026 Krisp introduced AI Voice Translation v2.0 with synchronous mode and support for 80+ languages, a dedicated Voice Translation SDK for customer experience platforms, and VIVA (Voice Isolation for Voice Agents) to improve the accuracy of voice AI agents.
For enterprises, Krisp's Call Center AI bundle adds accent conversion for offshore agents, real-time translation, noise suppression, and agent assist features. The AI Voice SDK gives developers low-level access to the same models for building noise-clean voice agents, transcription pipelines, and multilingual conferencing apps.
Krisp competes with native noise suppression built into Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, with accent and translation specialists like Sanas and DeepL Voice, and with voice infrastructure providers such as LiveKit and Daily. Its edge is a vertically integrated, mature voice processing stack used at very large scale.
