Amazon Prime Video has just added a feature that should significantly improve your viewing (and especially sound) experience.
While Amazon intends to bring many cult series back to its streaming platform, the giant has just rolled out a new audio setting designed to make your viewing a little more enjoyable.
Amazon presents Dialogue Boost, the feature that isolates voices
During your movie nights at home, have you ever had to increase the volume or activate the subtitles, the fault of voices behind the effects and background music? Yes, of course it has happened to you! Well, to overcome this long-standing problem, Amazon has decided to offer a brand new feature called “Dialogue Boost” on its platform.
The name speaks for itself, this option allows you to increase the volume of the dialogues so that they are not drowned out among the various sound effects. Amazon says it wants to offer ” a more comfortable and accessible viewing experience that cannot be found on any other global streaming service “.
Operation and accessibility
To work, Dialogue Boost uses artificial intelligence to precisely identify when it may be difficult to understand the words of the characters on the screen. Using AI, the lyrics are therefore targeted and then isolated, which therefore makes the dialogues much easier to distinguish throughout the duration of a film. Pages will automatically update to let you know if the content you want to watch supports the feature. To activate Dialogue Boost, simply open the audio/subtitles drop-down menu.
Good news, the feature is already available worldwide for certain content ” Amazon Originals » : The Big Sick, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Being the Ricardos… If Dialogue Boost is certainly only accessible for English voices, it is worth noting that you can however activate it from any device capable of supporting Amazon Prime Video. Isn’t life beautiful?

- A catalog that grows month after month
- An SVOD platform and many other services
- A fairly complete back catalog
Good but could do better. This is clearly the first impression left on us by Amazon Prime Video. Its catalog remains neat, home productions from Amazon are often of high quality, but everything remains weighed down by an interface that can be greatly improved.
