Full Announcement
In May 2024, ai|coustics launched its Web App, designed for digital content creators, podcasters, and audiobook readers. Building on this success, ai|coustics has now officially released the ai|coustics API on July 11, 2024. This API is set to revolutionize the workflows of broadcasting agencies, podcast production houses, media production companies, and filmmaking agencies.
The ai|coustics API elevates audio production by providing enhanced control and customizable settings that surpass the capabilities of the current Web App. Designed specifically for early adopters of audio production automation, the API provides you with the following advantages:
Studio Quality Audio: Eliminate distortions such as background noise, echo, or room resonances and produce professional-grade audio.
Transcoding of File Formats: Seamlessly convert audio files from wav to mp3, simplifying post-production workflows and ensuring compatibility across various platforms.
- Loudness Adjustment: Optimize the loudness of audio recordings to meet the specific requirements of platforms like Spotify and YouTube, ensuring consistent and high-quality sound.
Customize Audio Enhancement level: Tailor the enhancement strength to your exact requirements with adjustable settings ranging from 0% to 100%.
These features provide the flexibility and control needed to produce high-quality audio content, ensuring your productions sound their best on any platform.
Technical Highlights
The initial release includes a REST-API, which can be integrated into any supporting language, providing versatility and ease of use for developers. Some technical highlights are:
- Simple API-Key Based Authentication: Secure and straightforward access to the API.
- Single API Call for Voice Enhancement: Improve the quality of your voice recordings effortlessly.
Corvin Jaedicke, CTO at ai|coustics, emphasized the goal of the new API, stating, “I believe in the power of simplicity. With our Speech Enhancement API, we’ve made advanced audio processing as simple as it should be to facilitate modern content production.” Jaedicke also mentioned that future updates would include Zapier integration, enabling production houses to connect multiple web-based services like DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and more, with no-code audio enhancement automations.
