Abstract
Computer-implemented techniques can include establishing, between first and second computing devices, an audio communication session via a network. The first computing device can receive and temporarily store audio packets corresponding to an audio input signal obtained by the second computing device. When the audio packets cause the buffer to fill beyond or at a rate exceeding a loss threshold indicative of a temporary loss of communication via the network, the techniques can decode the audio packets to obtain an audio output signal, determine whether the audio output signal includes speech, and when the audio output signal includes speech, remove a redundant portion of the audio output signal corresponding to a pitch period to obtain a modified audio output signal. The modified audio output signal can then be output via a speaker of the first computing device.
