NUGEN Audio Launches DialogCheck

NUGEN Audio has launched its new speech intelligibility plug-in, DialogCheck.
A mono, stereo and multichannel dialog clarity meter, the software provides an objective measure of speech audio intelligibility. DialogCheck is ideally suited for use in film, television, radio, podcasting and game audio production, as well as post-production environments. NUGEN Audio will present the solution at MPTS 2025 (HHB, Stand F40).
"Poor speech clarity is commonly cited as a major source of television audience complaints, making dialog intelligibility increasingly important for audio professionals," says Dr. Paul Tapper, CEO, NUGEN Audio. "As engineers are likely to listen in an acoustically specialised environment compared to where the final mix might be played, it can be difficult for them to judge whether further changes are needed to improve clarity. NUGEN Audio DialogCheck provides an objective measure of speech in a portion of the audio file or through an entire project."
The ability for a listener to understand a piece of dialog is affected by many factors. This includes language, dialect, enunciation, reverb and effects, loudness of speech and background noise, as well as listener hearing ability, listening environment, placement of speakers and supporting visuals, among other elements. DialogCheck enables users to easily evaluate their audio to identify sections of speech that might be difficult for listeners to understand.
