What is Krisp?
Krisp moves call transcripts and live captions to cloud transcription in KrispCX 2.84.4.
Krisp sells a Call Center AI suite to BPOs and contact centers: Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake and fraud detection. KrispCX 2.84.4 adds cloud transcription in beta for more accurate transcripts and Live Captions, plus in-call hints when the Krisp microphone is in use; the source note is truncated. October brought Conference mode for Voice Translation and a Fraud Detection beta.
What is Rspamd?
Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.
Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.
Krisp vs Rspamd: editorial side-by-side
Krisp
5.0COMMS
Krisp moves call transcripts and live captions to cloud transcription in KrispCX 2.84.4.
◆ Current state
Krisp sells a Call Center AI suite to BPOs and contact centers: Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake and fraud detection. KrispCX 2.84.4 adds cloud transcription in beta for more accurate transcripts and Live Captions, plus in-call hints when the Krisp microphone is in use; the source note is truncated. October brought Conference mode for Voice Translation and a Fraud Detection beta.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases arrive on a two-week cadence and keep stacking agent-assist features on the live call, from translation to fraud signals to captions. The September move to free-to-try has been followed by incremental depth rather than new product lines.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the live-call layer to move to cloud processing, with QA scoring and translation likely reusing the new transcription. The truncated notes leave the scope of the cloud beta unclear.
Rspamd
5.0COMMS
Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.
◆ Current state
Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.
◆ Where it's heading
Since 4.1, every release has hardened parsers and closed memory-safety and trust gaps; 4.3 applies the same pass to the authentication standards themselves (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC) and to content extraction. Operators should expect scores and fuzzy hashes to shift after upgrading, because the project now favours spec-correct results over backward-compatible ones.
◆ Prediction
A 4.3.x point release fixing regressions from these behaviour changes is the likely next step, as 4.2.1 followed 4.2.0 within two weeks.
