Acon Digital Releases Noise Reduction for Dialogue Plug-in

Acon Digital has released Extract:Dialogue, a plug-in that separates dialogue from common types of background noise such as wind, rustle, traffic, hum, clicks and pops. The algorithm works in real time and is based on deep learning, using thousands of high-quality voice recordings and an equally extensive set of common noise sources. This extensive training enables the software to automatically distinguish speech and dialogue from noise, without any user interaction.

Practical Test & Measurement: Objective Listening Effort Evaluation

This article by Hans W. Gierlich and Jan Reimes - two top experts in communication technologies from HEAD acoustics GmbH - details the expanded effort for understanding speech under noisy conditions, and addresses a new approach recently introduced by HEAD acoustics, resulting in a new model that can be used to test active noise cancellation (ANC) performance in complex scenarios where the system needs to distinguish between speech signals as part of the background noise and speech signals directed toward the users of these devices. This article was originally published in audioXpress, April 2020.
