Amazon Prime Video Launches New Feature to Improve Dialogue Clarity

Amazon Prime Video has launched a new feature called Dialogue Boost which allows users to increase the volume of dialogue in relation to background music and effects. The feature is currently available on selected Amazon original series and films including The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, and Beautiful Boy.

It was developed to help viewers who are hard of hearing, but anyone can use the tool to enhance their listening experience. The feature uses an AI to identify when dialogue may be difficult to hear and isolate speech patterns to enhance audio quality. Dialogue Boost is currently available on all devices that support Prime Video and can be accessed via the audio and subtitles drop-down menu. While similar features are available on high-end televisions and theater systems, Amazon claims to be the first global streaming service to offer the feature.
