Abstract:
1. An automatic keyboard noise suppression method for a communication session, comprising: receiving input audio from a microphone; sending output audio to a far-end; receiving a key event detected from a computer keyboard; storing a current state of the microphone in response to the key event; initiating a timer in response to the detected key event; automatically disabling the sending of input audio from the microphone to the far-end during the timer to substantially prevent noise generated by the keyboard from being delivered to the far-end; and returning the microphone to the stored state after the timer has expired, wherein the microphone returns to mute after the timer has expired when the stored state at the detected key event is a mute state, and wherein the microphone returns to un-mute after the timer has expired when the stored state at the detected key event is an un-mute state.
