Enhanced Speech Report

Just had the opportunity to try out Enhanced Speech

 

Footage was of a lecture. The facility's wireless mic had crapped out, but fortunately I had a shotgun pointing at the front of the room and captured the unamplified audio of the speaker.

 

The speaker had a bit of a New York accent and talked very fast.  Room was somewhat reverberant.

 

When the AI was done processing the enhanced speech, I was astounded that it sounded like he was talking into the stage mic!  Just amazing.  Then I listened more closely and realized he wasn't making any sense.  Words were jumbled together and it sounded like a foreign language. Other sounds, like a woman coughing, were interpreted as vowels in a woman's voice and it pops in occasionally.

 

So I'll have to massage this quite a bit before it's usable.  It's a noble try. 

 

Attached is a before/after for a short segment. The after is with a .7 mix ratio (default)

I can barely make it out with my own ears 🙂 Your shotgun mike isn't that great

I've had some success in boosting such audio with other well-known audio
cleaners, then using the Adobe one.
