With the software tool for automatic detection of music in combination with detection of speech sequences, Fraunhofer IDMT offers a highly effective solution to determine the exact amount of music and speech in radio and TV programs. The tools can be used to optimize broadcasting programs or provide accurate accounting for copyright agencies.

Less work: Using Fraunhofer IDMT’s software tools, the amount of music and speech in radio and TV programs no longer needs to be determined by means of tedious manual work (typically personnel reading through audio content lists). The tool is able to detect and measure general audio categories (music, speech, music and speech combined, other content) both in live streams and in stored digital audio files.

Easy integration: The tools are scalable and can easily be integrated with standard workflows and components. It can be used in production and live streaming environments, both online and offline.

Easy data export: The tools easily integrate with content management systems. For data output, users may choose between XML files, cue sheets, or other standard data export formats.
