Overview

The RTCAIDenoiser plugin can be used in conjunction with the TRTC Web SDK to reduce noise during calls and reduce the impact of ambient sound on calls.

This article describes how to use the RTCAIDenoiser plugin in developing TRTC applications to apply AI noise reduction to streams when publish. Click to experience the noise reduction demo online.

Prerequisites

From 1 April 2023, TRTC monthly subscription Premium and higher is required to use the AI noise reduction function.

Supported browsers: Chrome 66+, Edge 79+, Safari 14.1+, Firefox 76+.

For better use of AI noise reduction, it is recommended that you use the latest version of Chrome.

Notes:

If there is background music captured by your microphone, RTCAIDenoiser may eliminate it as noise.

Feature Description

Step1. Install RTCAIDenoiser

npm install rtc-ai-denoiser@latest

The RTCAIDenoiser plugin needs to be installed in the same scope as TRTC.

import TRTC from 'trtc-js-sdk';
import RTCAIDenoiser from 'rtc-ai-denoiser';

Step2. Integrated RTCAIDenoiser

Dynamically loading file dependencies: The RTCAIDenoiser plugin relies on a number of files. To ensure that your browser can load and run these files properly, you need to complete the following steps.

Publish the denoiser-wasm.js file from the node_modules/rtc-ai-denoiser/assets directory to a CDN or static resource server and under the same public path. When creating RTCAIDenoiser instances later, you need to pass in the URL of the above public path and the plugin will load the dependency files dynamically.

• If the Host URL of the file in the assets directory does not match the Host URL of the web application, you need to enable the CORS policy for accessing the file domain.
• You cannot place assets directory files under an HTTP service, as loading HTTP resources under an HTTPS domain is prohibited by browser security policies.

Step3. Init RTCAIDenoiser

1. Reference Quick Start Call to implement a basic audio/video call process.

2. init RTCAIDenoiser

// Create an instance, passing in the public path where the files in the assets directory are located
const rtcAIDenoiser = new RTCAIDenoiser({ assetsPath: './assets' });

1. create denoiserProcessor instance

const processor = await rtcAIDenoiser.createProcessor({
  sdkAppId,
  userId,
  userSig
});

1. handle localStreams that need to be published.

// init stream
const localStream = TRTC.createStream({ video: true, audio: true });
await localStream.initialize();

// adding noise suppression to localStream
await processor.process(localStream);
// publish
await client.publish(localStream);

1. Control whether the plugin is turned on or off: call the enable method and the disable method.

if (processor.enabled) {
  await processor.disable();
} else {
  await processor.enable();
}

1. Dump the audio data during the noise suppression process: call the startDump method to start and the stopDump method to end, and listen to the ondumpend callback to get the audio and video data.

processor.on('ondumpend', ({ blob, name }) => {
  const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);

  let anchor = document.createElement('a');
  anchor.href = url;
  anchor.download = `${name}-${Date.now()}.wav`;
  anchor.click();
  window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
  anchor.href = '';
});

API Description

RTCAIDenoiser

const rtcAIDenoiser = new RTCAIDenoiser({ assetsPath: './assets' })

isSupported()

Determine whether the current environment supports RTCAIDenoiser.

if (!rtcAIDenoiser.isSupported()) {
  console.log('Your browser is not supported RTCAIDenoiser');
}

createProcessor(params)

create denoiserProcessor instance.

const denoiserProcessor = await rtcAIDenoiser.createProcessor({
  sdkAppId,
  userId,
  userSig
});

Params:

Name	Type	Description
sdkAppId	number	sdkAppId that your application use
userId	string	userId that current client use
userSig	string	userSig signature

Processor

process(LocalStream)

Add noise suppression to the audio of the local stream.

await denoiserProcessor.process(localStream);

get enabled

Whether AI noise suppression is currently turned on.

const enabled = denoiserProcessor.enabled

enable()

Turn on AI noise reduction.

await denoiserProcessor.enable()

disable()

Turn off AI noise reduction.

await denoiserProcessor.disable()

startDump()

Start dumping audio data from the noise reduction process. Up to 30 seconds.

denoiserProcessor.startDump()

stopDump()

Stop dumping audio data from the noise reduction process. Up to 30 seconds.

denoiserProcessor.stopDump()

on(event, handler)

add event listener to events from the processor.

eg:

After listening to the ondumpend event, the audio data is dumped and the example code is as follows.

denoiserProcessor.on('ondumpend', ({ blob, name }) => {
  const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
  let anchor = document.createElement('a');

  anchor.href = url;
  anchor.download = `${name}-${Date.now()}.wav`;
  anchor.click();
  window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
  anchor.href = '';
});

off(event, handler)

remove event listener to events from the processor.

destroy()

Destroy the processor to release resources and end the processor life cycle.
