Amazon’s new Dialogue Boost will finally let you understand movie dialogue

Audio mixing is not an exact science as even major movie studios can (sometimes purposely) get things wrong. To help out, Amazon is currently rolling out a new Prime Video feature called Dialogue Boost to specifically increase “the volume of [spoken] dialogue relative to background [noise]”. 

You may initially think this is mainly for people who are hard of hearing, but not really. It’s also meant for all the people who have watched a movie only to experience weird audio mixing where you can barely understand what the characters are saying. In a recent post, Amazon states (opens in new tab) it sought to create “a more comfortable and accessible viewing experience [that suits people’s] personal listening preferences” instead of a “general amplification” of sound.
