Amazon Prime Video Adds New Dialogue Boost Feature: Here’s How It Works

Amazon’s Prime Video on Wednesday said it will roll out a new accessibility feature called Dialogue Boost in India. The new feature allows you to increase the volume of dialogue in relation to background music and effects, creating a more comfortable and easy-to-use viewing experience.

This new feature, which allows customers to choose their own dialogue volume, is the latest addition to Prime, according to the company.

Availability of Dialogue Boost

According to the company, Dialogue Boost is available on all devices that support the Prime Video experience and offers a feature that was previously only available to customers with high-end theater systems, specialized audio equipment or certain smart TVs.

Customers can now use Dialogue Boost on select Amazon Originals such as “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and Harlem, as well as films such as The Big Sick, Beautiful Boy and Being the Ricardos.

The feature will be available in other titles this year.

How to find Dialogue Boost

– During playback, customers can view and select which level of Dialogue Boost they want to use via the audio and subtitle menu.

– Audio tracks are labeled “English Dialogue Boost: Medium” and “English Dialogue Boost: High”.

– The title info page shows if Dialogue Boost is available.

How Dialogue Boost works

Dialogue Boost analyzes the original audio of a movie or series and intelligently identifies places where dialogue can be difficult to hear in addition to background music and effects. Then the speech patterns are isolated and the sound is enhanced to make the dialogue clearer.

This AI-based approach enhances targeted parts of speech dialogue, rather than general amplification in the center channel in a home theater system. As a result, Dialogue Boost can be enjoyed wherever the Prime Video experience is available.

“At Prime Video, we’re committed to building a comprehensive, equitable and enjoyable streaming experience for all our customers. Our library of subtitled and voice-over content is constantly growing, and by leveraging our technical capabilities to create industry-first innovations like Dialogue Boost, we’re taking another step toward creating an easier streaming experience,” said Raf Soltanovich, Chief Technology Officer Prime Video and Amazon Studios.
