RTW Presents New Speech Intelligibility Tech At IBC

RTW has presented new speech intelligibility technology at IBC alongside Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology.

The new technology provides real-time analysis of speech intelligibility in film and TV dialogues.

Understanding speech on television can sometimes be difficult, or even impossible. There are frequently scenes in movies and TV shows that make it hard to understand what is being said. Perhaps the main character speaks unclearly, or there is traffic noise in the background of one scene, or loud music to underscore the tension in the next. RTW's speech measurement technology aims to eliminate much of this auditory stress before it even makes it to the ears of the viewer.

RTW demonstrated the new technology using a real-time analysis tool that clearly displays the current level of speech intelligibility in an audio project.

"I am proud that RTW is once again the market leader in measurement technology, this time addressing the most important audio obstacle for modern broadcasters: speech intelligibility," said Andreas Tweitmann, CEO of RTW.
