voice focus

About this tag
Voice Focus is an AI-powered microphone noise filtering feature in Windows 11 that reduces background noise during calls. It relies on supported hardware, drivers, and OEM enablement, making availability inconsistent across PCs. Voice Focus is part of the Windows Studio Effects suite, which also includes Background Blur, Automatic Framing, and Eye Contact. These effects leverage the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) on Copilot+ PCs for on-device AI processing. Recent updates have expanded Studio Effects to external cameras on supported devices. Voice Focus exemplifies practical Windows AI benefits, though its inconsistent availability can create a trust issue for users in the Copilot+ era.
