Does the Enhance Speech tool in Adobe Podcast only works with an English speaking voice? Or are more languages supported?

Hi @Jeroen32141884k4dp , Harmony here from the Adobe Podcast team 👋

Enhance Speech is language agnostic and does not generate or translate across different languages. The results often depend on the speaker's audibility and the amount of background noise. It’s important to note that clearer and more polished inputs (speaker pronunciation and enunciation) will produce better outputs. This tool enhances audio by filtering out noise and artifacts, adjusting pitch and volume levels, and normalizing the audio.

I think that you are right in the sense that the model was not developed specifically for English. But it is likely that the data used in the training had a bias towards English. To me, that was evident. For example, whenever I had a voice in the background besides the main speaker, that is, a subtle voice behind during a silence, the model tried to rebuild speech that clearly resembles American English gibberish. I also think (or hope) that this new v2 will improve in all aspects. Anyway, this has been a GREAT and very useful tool!

I tried witha Spanish audio track, the result was trash, but that was many months ago when it was initially released. Crumple Pop is the best audio enhancer I've tried, so far.

Just from my own user perspective and experience: I've used this a lot mainly with Spanish (besides English, German and French). It has been very useful for many recordings. But I started to notice that when the original recording is weak and/or not clear enough, the audio artifacts tend to sound more like American English babble. So I thought/understood that it seems like this application is not a sound cleaner, but a speech reconstructor. That's why it may need to be trained for specific languages. I insist, I am saying all this just from what I have noticed so far as a user.
