Introducing the Intelligibility Meter

Setting the dialogue level can be subjective and situational.

Insight 2's Intelligibility Meter takes the guesswork out of setting dialogue levels and provides you with a clearer picture of how an audience will experience the dialogue.

You can now measure the intelligibility of your dialogue compared to the rest of the mix to ensure that your dialogue level can be clearly heard in different listening environments.

iZotope's own powerful DSP is used to determine when levels in your mix are preventing the dialogue from being clearly heard.
