Poor dialogue intelligibility remains one of the biggest frustrations for audiences, yet there is no consistent way to measure or optimise speech clarity across the production and distribution chain. Crystal Clear brings together broadcasters, technology providers and research partners to develop a practical framework for assessing and improving dialogue intelligibility across broadcast and streaming workflows.

This session will showcase how the Crystal Clear Accelerator combines AI-driven analysis with structured human listening to deliver consistent, actionable measures of speech clarity. The project demonstrates how a shared approach can help the industry produce more accessible, intelligible content while improving the viewing experience across devices, platforms and listening environments.
