Our services
Voice Comparison
Forensically analysing voices in evidential recordings to assess the strength of evidence that a voice in a recording might belong to a suspect or known person.
Transcription
Producing detailed, impartial transcripts of difficult or poor quality recordings for investigative or evidential purposes.
Audio Enhancement
Using audio enhancement software with noisy or unclear recordings to improve the intelligibility of speech: making speech clearer and louder, and reducing unwanted noise.
Speaker Profiling
Analysing a voice in a recording to determine the speaker’s regional or language background, or any other aspects of identity which may be apparent from speech.
