# Recover intelligible speech from degraded audio

A family of AI models that recover intelligible speech from degraded, noisy, and low-resolution recordings. Speech Recovery works on the speech already in the signal rather than synthesizing what isn't there, so the output stays clean, usable, and faithful to the source.

Available via AudioShake Live, API, and SDK for real-time workflows.

## What is AudioShake Speech Recovery?

AudioShake Speech Recovery is a family of AI models that recover intelligible speech from degraded recordings without synthetic processing.

Standard noise reduction suppresses what's in the way. Generative enhancement predicts what should be there and synthesizes it — and in doing so can hallucinate content that was never in the recording. Speech Recovery does neither. It recovers the speech already present in the signal, so the result stays faithful to what was captured.

- Original signal preserved
- No synthetic reconstruction
- Editorially and legally defensible

## Precise recovery for degraded recordings

Most audio recovery tools are built for one problem. Speech Recovery addresses multiple categories of degradation, each requiring a different type of signal processing intervention.

### DENOISING
- Remove interference without altering the voice
- Removes hum, hiss, crowd babble, wind, and environmental interference while keeping the natural ambience intact.

### DEREVERBING
- Remove room echo from reverberant recordings
- Removes reverberation and room echo while preserving intelligibility.

## How much clearer is speech with Speech Recovery?

For recordings where previous tools produced no usable output at all, Speech Recovery delivers clear, workable speech.

- 2× clearer speech on degraded audio
- 4× less echo and reverb
- 2× better sound quality
