ChatterBlocker — Block Distracting Speech at Work

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-you-hear-what-my-mouth-is-saying dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ChatterBlocker is a PC program that uses digital audio technology to neutralize the sound of speech and other distractions so you can stay focused at work or elsewhere." Personally I just crank the tunes. Anyone know if this actually works or if it's a scam? Or is it just a white noise generator?

            ChatterBlocker masks unwanted office chatter using a soothing blend of nature sounds, music and anti-chatter voices.
