Many viewers and listeners have difficulty understanding verbal material in shows and films. Specific complaints include that an actor does not articulate clearly enough or that there is too much background noise.
As part of a research project in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT) in Oldenburg and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics, SMEs and Energy (BMWi), RTW is starting to develop a technology that enables the audio analysis of film and television dialogues with regard to speech intelligibility in real time.
