"Key-click removal" would be so awesome to have when playing games, instead of having to use PTT. But how this would effectively filter out the various, different mechanical clicks is a mystery to me.
A blue cherry switch sounds very different from an ALPS or an old IBM tactile. Perhaps this feature isn't really addressing this particular, small niche?
it would probably filter out any short impulse. Or maybe it would listen for impulses and if it detects a certain sound happening frequently, it will filter it out. Or maybe it will have a bunch of settings so you move the cursors around until it filters out your specific keyboard. Or maybe it has a training program which asks you to write with your keyboard for 10 seconds.
There's plenty of solutions for that and they've surely thought about the different click sounds.
A training mode can allow for sampling the distinctive noises produced by your system. It's still a necessity for the best possible voice recognition but nearly as much of a hassle as it once was.
How is 80% word accuracy at library-level noise conditions even remotely acceptable? One in 5 words are unintelligible? That explains why I hate talking on cell phones/video calls/anything-that-is-not-in-person so much.
Voice quality, whether it is on a cell phone, VoIP call, video conference, or during gaming needs some very serious attention. If an Android phone could boast a significant increase in call quality (both input and output), I'd seriously considering buying that phone. Call quality is quickly becoming my #1 concern.
The level of English modern Americans comprehend is just terrible. You can talk face to face with many people these days and have them not understand a thing. It's like they feed kids mercury and whiskey for lunch these days. Everyone can't be a genius but I really think something is making people dumber by the day.
They're more interested in brainwashing children than educating them. You don't need to know proper English (reading and writing? wat a noob), math is for nerds, history isn't important... but you damned well better be a good little progressive. Oh and we're cutting down on your salt and ketchup intake. It's bad for you.

I think it's about speech-to-text or voice assistants like cortana hearing you.hpglow - Wednesday, November 5, 2014 - link

Given it's words rather than % of words, I'd guess that it was an 80 word sample.Alternatively, maybe they had to talk really, really quietly since they were in a library.
