01Overview

Mix engineers working on film and television dialog often hear the same lines hundreds of times, which makes it hard to judge how a track will sound to a viewer hearing it for the first time. DialogCheck is built to address that gap. It measures speech clarity and presents the result as a readout, so the mixer has an objective reference alongside their own ears. The developer notes that poor intelligibility is a frequent source of audience complaints, and that many viewers prefer to watch with subtitles.

03In depth

Measuring speech clarity in a dialog mix

NUGEN Audio describes DialogCheck as a dialog intelligibility meter designed to give an objective measure of speech clarity. The plugin is powered by dual AI neural networks that analyze the signal and report how clear the dialog is.

The readouts include a realtime bar meter, a realtime momentary clarity readout and a median clarity readout. Percentile readouts and user-definable upper and lower limits help you judge how a scene holds up over its duration.

Monitoring clarity over time and across channels

A timecode-locked history graph shows how clarity changes across the timeline, so you can locate the passages that fall below your target. This is useful when reviewing long sessions where a problem may only appear in specific scenes.

DialogCheck supports up to 7.1.4 channels, which covers surround and immersive mixes. It is a practical choice for engineers delivering to multichannel formats who need to check intelligibility across the full speaker layout.
