DTS tries to solve this problem once and for all with well-placed AI. The company just announced DTS Clear Dialogue, an “AI-powered solution designed to improve the clarity of spoken dialogue on TVs.”

DTS has yet to announce any partnerships, but the company’s technology is commonly adopted by all the major companies, including Sony, Hisense, Philips, LG and Vizio. We’ll be looking for the first TVs to include this feature. For now, the company is demonstrating the service at the IFA tech conference in Berlin.
DTS partners with content providers that bring theater-grade audio to home releases. Recently To enhance and provide the sound of MCU movies . Boy, could these MCU movies use some of the company’s promising AI-enhanced dialogue magic.
