An established industry, broadcasting also has established problems. Audio engineers spend precious time correcting for a range of poor conditions, from background noise in field recordings to malfunctioning or mishandled equipment to callers ringing in on landlines to archival recordings which don’t stand up to contemporary standards and more.
Imagine…
- A news producer dealing with archival footage which features scrappy and unreliable sound
- A journalist attempting to salvage an interview conducted on the street, with lots of background noise
- A digital channel manager responsible for ensuring a consistent listening experience, attempting to repurpose a live show
- A transmission engineer seeking easy oversight on quality across a range of recordings
Unpredictable factors bring confusion and delays to the process. They disengage listeners with a dip in the usually consistent quality of broadcasting audio. And audio engineers end up spending hours on distracting, minute tasks, where their skill and talent could be better placed elsewhere.
Accelerating broadcasting production processes with AI
Our technology utilizes AI to offer the power and control to close the missing link in the production chain. Audio enhancement solves any issues caused by adverse circumstances or misfunctioning technology, and applied at scale, with ai|coustics’s API, it is a seamless part of any broadcaster’s processes.
Integrating with existing programs and workflows, our technology works in real or near real time to ensure problems are solved the moment they first appear. Customizable settings allow engineers to find the best fix for their story and apply it either individually or at scale. Our technology uses AI to perform the manual labor, offering new time and efficiency for producers and creators to concentrate on their specialist domain.
Authentic and trustworthy
Preserving the heart of the story is crucial to broadcasters — and it’s crucial to us. Our robust and reliable technology always preserves speaker identity, from the content of their words to the very timbre of their voice. It repairs lost words or transmissions immediately and accurately, and will never change any specifics about the way someone sounds. Broadcasters can rest easy knowing that protecting speaker identity is at the forefront of our technology.
