Surely this has happened to you before. It’s Friday night. Just finished a busy week and you want to rest a little. You’re making popcorn, a very cold drink, and you’re about to watch a movie on Amazon Prime that a friend told you so well.
You start playing and everything is fine until two characters have a conversation. You hardly hear anything, so you turn up the volume. Suddenly, a new plan accompanied by the soundtrack comes in unexpectedly and leaves you deaf. You lower the volume. Another dialog. You download it again. And so the whole sacred film.
In the end, you don’t appreciate, because you’re just juggling the volume find the point where you can clearly hear the dialogues without interrupting the well-deserved rest of your neighbors, although without much success. But don’t worry, because Amazon has the solution, and it looks awesome.
Adapt the volume to the circumstances
Our friends at Amazon have implemented a new feature on their streaming service, Prime Video: Dialogue Boost. And what is it? Well, it’s a function that uses artificial intelligence to, simply put, increase the volume of dialogues that are not heard very wellbut don’t do it on other types of sounds for which it is not necessary.
This will allow us, especially in those titles whose audio mix leaves something to be desired, forget to turn the volume up and down throughout the movie to avoid a neighborhood argument. According to the company, Prime Video is “the first streaming service in the world to offer this feature”.
To activate this function, simply select the section audio in any Prime Video title that incorporates this technology (of which there are few) and select the intensity with which you want to activate it: low, medium or high.
In any case, this technology is currently only available in a tiny list of titles which we hope will grow over time. Also It would be interesting if other services try to implement something similarbecause as an idea it’s very good, and it would put an end to one of the most frustrating situations that can arise when watching a movie at home.
