Ok, so Adobe's "Enhance Speech" tool is pretty rad.

Enhance Speech from Adobe | Free AI filter for cleaning up spoken audio

This AI audio filter improves spoken audio to make it sound like it was recorded in a soundproofed studio.

@birchtree Ok, now that’s pretty impressive. Though I stand by my critique of its aggressive reduction of high-end clarity.

@NateBarham Yeah, it's not absolutely perfect, but it really does improve poor quality audio.

I saw you post elsewhere about how it work with a good mic, and I did try that too, and it wasn't super useful. Made me a little more bassy, but also a little more like I was underwater, which is always what happens when I try to manually clean up my own audio tracks 😂

@birchtree Same. It did good work with mouth clicks and the like but seems to just sacrifice almost all the high end to make those gains. And it might be boosting bass just generally as well, a bit like the “showroom” setting for TVs. That is, just boosting and cutting based on what the average person is going to think sounds good, when really it just deletes personality and nuance in favor of “Can I hear it? Yes/No.” But @charliemchapman’s example was a shocker. Ridiculous improvement.
