You’re about to hear how Prime Video can make what you watch better by turning up the volume of what people are saying on TV. Companies around the world are always working to improve their accessibility features so more of us can enjoy their services, and Amazon is the latest business to cater to the needs of the hearing-impaired. Even if you have perfect hearing, you might consider using its new dialogue enhancement feature.
What is Conversation Enhancement?
Dialogue Boost is a new feature introduced in Amazon Prime Video that allows you to choose the dialogue volume level to suit your listening needs on any device. The feature, initially rolling out to Amazon Original shows and movies worldwide, will help you hear dialogue better over background music and special effects happening on top of what you’re watching.

How does Dialogue Boost work?
Specifically designed for Dialogue Boost, the technology analyzes the audio in a movie or TV show and finds points where the dialogue might be hard to hear. It then isolates speech patterns and boosts the audio so conversations sound clearer.

I think Amazon’s new Dialogue Boost feature on Prime Video is an important step in significantly improving accessibility for the hearing impaired.
