Audio Expert

FORENSIC AUDIO ANALYSIS WORKSTATION

Audio Expert is a powerful forensic audio examination set which provides a wide spectrum of solutions and reflects the most contemporary demands of professional audio experts in:
  • Identification – Investigating the recordings for equity of people or equipment used.
  • Authenticity analysis – Investigation of tampering/editing or verification of recorded media.
  • Text decoding – Creating the environment to retrieve the contents of poor quality recorded conversations such as investigation of ‘black boxes’, telephone, radio and other recordings.
  • Reporting – Preparing detailed expert reports to be used for legal evidence.
 
The software allows you to perform the most advanced tasks of audio expertise with ease, which were previously complex and extremely time consuming.

 
The solution has a component structure, integrating several optional modules into the core speech analysis environment.
 
Additional optional modules include:
  • EdiFinder – Authentication and Evidence Tampering Verification.
  • AutoIDFinder – Automatic Speaker Identification Option (TBA).
  • VoiceEnhancer – Speech Enhancement (TBA).
 
FUNCTIONALITY:
Forensic Speaker Identification with fast and accurate in-depth speech visualization, supported by:
  • Waveforms, spectrograms, LPC-spectrograms, and cepstrograms.
  • Instant switching between modes.
  • Additional information shown over main layer (energy, pitch, formants, user marks and notes).
  • Fast signal navigation. Two clicks to function settings (frame type and size, spectrum normalization).
  • Fast calculations and information management.
  • Signals synchronization.
  • Rich colour presets pallet. Full image export with user presets.
 
Recording and playbackfor easy audio organization:
  • Project organization of files in logical tree structure.
  • Wide range of supported audio formats.
  • Input/Output level control.
  • Clipping notification.
  • Easy editing.
  • Loop playback, consequent playback of chosen fragments from two different files.
  • Pseudo stereo mode, Tempo correction.
Forensic Speaker Analysis:
  • Automatic extraction of speaker characteristics.
  • Pitch and formant traces extractor, manual correction options via visual control.
  • Calculation, comparison, and storing of pitch and formants statistics.
  • MS Word export.
 
Text decoding is supported by a comprehensive text editor, featuring:
  • Colour highlighting of speakers’ utterances.
  • Convenient speech segmentation.
  • Text-to-audio binding and fast text navigation.
  • Automatic search of matching words and phrases for further comparison analysis.
