Are AI/ML tools making audio better? For me, yes, absolutely. IxDA Oslo had been stuck with a very bad audio recording of a very good talk by Marie Van den Bergh. The audio was so bad, we couldn't publish it. Yesterday, this post by HANCE popped up in my feed, which lead us to ACON DIGITAL. They have a tool powered by Hance's tech called Extract:Dialogue that pulls clear speech out of a crummy recording. It worked. The intermittent, variable, and very-tedious-to-fix-by-hand audio glitches disappeared, in realtime. Just install, activate, and watch it go. Wow. Thanks for creating the core tech, Joote Michal Hika 🤖🧠 and HANCE, and thanks for turning it into a product that saved the day (and our ears), Stian Aagedal and ACON DIGITAL For those eager to see Marie's talk, our audio engineer Juhani Silvola is currently optimizing the audio. We will release the video soon at https://www.ixda.no/talks
