US Patent 12080317 Pre-conditioning audio for echo cancellation in machine perception

An apparatus and method of pre-conditioning audio for machine perception. Machine perception differs from human perception, and different processing parameters are used for machine perception applications (e.g., speech to text processing) as compared to those used for human perception applications (e.g., voice communications). These different parameters may result in pre-conditioned audio that is worsened for human perception yet improved for machine perception.
