TRANSCRIBE

Unlocking the potential of Sound-to-Text

Transcribe converts dialogue recordings into text. Whether it's production sound, ADR, loop group sessions, voice-overs, or any voice recording. Search for alternative lines or specific words and expressions in a user-friendly spreadsheet or directly in Alts Finder.

Fix Sync

AFS automatically corrects the offset between AAF clips and their corresponding expanded channels in Pro Tools. It nudges the clips, so no new media is generated.

The De-Hum feature is a lifesaver!
One click and it’s gone. When you have complicated harmonic hums… even more amazing!!!
Then the Doppler Remover has done miracles to save an unusable track.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to further improvements as you develop them!!!

Supervising Sound Editor

I used the Transcribe feature for the first time on a feature. It's an absolute godsend for finding Alts. You can either use an xls database to search for keywords by character, or have cue metadata added to your sound roll WAVs,
and search for text within your sound database app, and spot to
Pro Tools more easily. Genius! 
I'll be using it on every project.

Absentia DX saves the day again!
I had a scene in Ozark that I wanted to throw at Absentia DX just to see what it could do with very high-frequency insects (cicadas and other insects from Atlanta). I used Hum Remover Strong and had Broadband Remover checked as well. It reduced the problem significantly and it was a huge improvement.
