NUGEN Audio Tackles Dialogue Clarity with New Plug-in, DialogCheckNUGEN Audio, a respected name in the world of professional audio tools, has just launched a new plug-in designed to solve a long-standing frustration in media production: unclear dialogue. Called DialogCheck, the software provides a precise way to assess how intelligible speech is in any audio project—be it film, television, radio, podcasting, or video games.For years, poor dialogue clarity has been a top complaint among viewers and listeners. While viewers at home crank up the volume or switch on subtitles, sound engineers are often left guessing how their mixes will translate outside the studio. NUGEN’s new plug-in is aimed at closing that gap.A statement from the company discloses that “poor speech clarity is commonly cited as a major source of television audience complaints, making dialog intelligibility increasingly important for audio professionals,” said Dr. Paul Tapper, CEO of NUGEN Audio.DialogCheck works in mono, stereo, and multichannel formats and allows users to measure intelligibility across a selected portion or the entirety of an audio track. This gives audio professionals the ability to identify problematic sections that may be difficult for end-users to understand—before the final render.A statement from the company states that "NUGEN Audio DialogCheck provides an objective measure of speech in a portion of the audio file or through an entire project.” This means the days of relying solely on trained ears and subjective impressions are numbered—now there's a tool to back up those instincts with data.Understanding dialogue is influenced by a host of factors: language, accent, enunciation, background noise, reverb, effects, and even the listener’s environment and equipment. DialogCheck takes these challenges into account, providing users with a clear view into how their audio might sound outside of the controlled studio environment. "It can be difficult for [engineers] to judge whether further changes are needed to improve clarity” due to the acoustic differences between a studio and a typical listening space.NUGEN Audio will officially present DialogCheck at the upcoming Media Production & Technology Show (MPTS) 2025 in London at the HHB stand (F40). For professionals seeking to ensure their dialogue tracks are as clear to audiences as they are in the studio, DialogCheck may prove to be an essential addition to their toolkit.The post NUGEN Audio Tackles Dialogue Clarity with New Plug-in, DialogCheck first appeared on Music Connection Magazine.
