This is a port of WebRTC's AEC3 (acoustic echo cancellation... 3) library to WebAssembly and JavaScript, so that echo cancellation can be performed on any audio, rather than trusting whatever echo cancellation getUserMedia wishes to do.

The Google WebRTC implementation from which this is derived is under a 3-clause BSD license, and so a compiled version of this library falls under the same license. The small amount of glue code provided by this library itself is under the so-called “0-clause BSD license” and does not require attribution. Additionally, library components used by WebRTC are under the Apache 2 license.

Include webrtcaec3.js, or import or require this library as a module. Once the library is loaded, WebRtcAec3 is a function which returns a promise for a WebRtcAec3 module instance. With a WebRtcAec3 module instance AEC3, AEC3.AEC3 is a constructor for an AEC3 instance, taking three parameters: the sample rate, and the number of channels for the render (output) and capture (input) streams, respectively. The AEC3 library itself is synchronous, so if you need asynchrony, use it in a WebWorker.

Putting that together:

const AEC3 = await WebRtcAec3();
const aec = new AEC3(sampleRate, outputChannels, inputChannels);

Note that not all sample rates will work. In fact, most won't. Basically, use 48000.

The AEC3 instances expose three methods: analyze, processSize, and process. Use analyze to analyze render (output) data:

aec.analyze(outputData /* Float32Array[] */);

Use process to process capture (input) data, cancelling echo. It deposits the processed data into an output buffer which you must provide. You can use processSize to get the necessary size of each channel of the output buffer.

const bufSz = aec.processSize(inputData);
const outBuf = [new Float32Array(bufSz)]; // one per channel
aec.process(outBuf, inputData /* Float32Array[] */);
... do something with outBuf ...

analyze, processSize, and process each take an optional “options” argument, which in particular can take a sample rate for the input data. If the sample rate for the input data does not match the sample rate with which the AEC3 instance was created, it will be resampled.

For further documentation on each method, see the types file.
