ChatterBlocker Description

Mask the sound of speech and other distractions so you can stay focused ChatterBlocker uses digital audio technology to mask the sound of speech and other distractions so you can stay focused.ChatterBlocker is a tool that doesn't use noise-cancellation. Instead, ChatterBlocker masks unwanted conversations with a soothing blend of nature sounds, music and background chatter. The goal is to render speech less intelligible, because intelligible speech is often the most distracting sound in the workplace.ChatterBlocker also offers mindfulness meditation tracks intended to increase concentration, reduce distractibility and minimize the stress response to office noise.Audio technology masks distracting voicesChatterBlocker uses auditory masking to reduce the intelligibility of nearby conversations so they no longer distract you. Digital sound files help blur unwanted speech with sounds that are similar in frequency, but not distracting. The result is a low, soothing murmur that fades to the back of your awareness. Many workers report increased relaxation and concentration.Work better without disturbing othersChatterBlocker works well at surprisingly low volume levels in most cases. You can raise the volume for noisier environments, but you don’t have to “drown out” sounds to get relief from them. Also, most people find ChatterBlocker less distracting than music.Relax your body, focus your mindChatterBlocker includes the comforting sounds of ocean waves, bird songs and babbling brooks. These sounds help mask unwanted chatter; they also relax unnecessary tension so you can concentrate on your work.Combine audio tracks for relief in any environmentChatterBlocker includes digitally encoded audio loops in three categories: Voices, Music and Sound Effects. You can play any number of tracks simultaneously, or choose from presets designed to neutralize common types of noise. You can also create new presets or even add your own music files and playlists.Meditations sharpen your focus and reduce distractibilityWhen you need a break, play the built-in mindfulness meditation tracks. These are designed to help strengthen your natural ability to focus and tune out distraction. They’re also a great way to clear and refresh your mind between work sessions. ChatterBlocker also includes sound tracks of ocean waves, bird songs and babbling brooks that not only mask unwanted chatter but also help ease tension while you work.Bell loops offer periodic remindersActivate ChatterBlocker's built-in bell sounds and get periodic reminders to take a deep breath, take a break or check your posture ?" whatever you want them to mean. You may be surprised to find that you've been holding your breath or sitting in an uncomfortable position, which increases stress and decreases your ability to think clearly and creatively. Limitations: · The demo will work normally for 60 minutes. Afterwards, it will continue to play sound files, but each of the loops will only play once. (It will sound as if the tracks are dropping out one-by-one.) · The demo does not include some of the sound files in the full version What's New in This Release: · The update fixes a problem with the installer on Snow Leopard.
