Amazon Prime Video recently released a new feature, Dialogue Boost, that promises to improve sound and dialogue clarity in select original films and TV shows. This AI-based feature allows viewers to make dialogue louder and more distinct, offering a convenient solution particularly in films or shows with a high volume of background noise. As Amazon claims to be the first streaming service offering this feature, it opens up a convenient alternative to viewers who may not have the access to home theater setups that can provide background noise.
Amazon Prime Video introduced Dialogue Boost in films and TV shows such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Harlem, both of which are Amazon Originals. Additionally, films such as The Big Sick and Being the Ricardos also have the feature. This feature helps to eliminate the need to ask questions such as “What did that character say?”. Artificial Intelligence scanning increases dialogue volume and removes other potential distractions, allowing viewers to hear the dialogue clearly and better understand the narratives of films and shows.
The advancement of microphone technology over the years has allowed for more natural performances from actors. As a result, this may obscure some of the dialogue and require viewers to use subtitles. Dialogue Boost may be a more convenient option for viewers as it provides more clarity and volume to the existing dialogue.

It has grown to become one of the biggest video-on-demand services in the world, with millions of subscribers worldwide.
