Amazon has introduced a new feature called Dialogue Boost for its Prime Video service that enhances the audio experience of its original TV shows and movies. The feature aims to solve the common problem of dialogue being muffled by background noise, by allowing users to increase the volume of conversation relative to other sounds.
Dialogue Boost is located in the audio menu and offers low to high boost options. Amazon claims that the feature will benefit anyone who is hard of hearing. The AI-based technology works by isolating audio and enhancing speech volume in any scenes where background sound or music may overwhelm the dialogue.
Currently, Dialogue Boost is exclusive to Amazon-produced titles, including The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Harlem, Being The Ricardos, and The Big Sick. Users can test the feature on any device with Amazon Originals, and the program details page will indicate whether Dialogue Boost is available.
Amazon plans to expand the feature to more titles later this year. By rolling out Dialogue Boost, Amazon is seeking to enhance the audio experience for its users, ensuring that they can hear and understand dialogue more clearly. The feature will improve accessibility for those with hearing difficulties and provide a more immersive experience for all viewers.
