This is for those contributors who somehow produce perfect transcripts from crappy audio.

How the heck do you manage to understand what is being said among

- squeaky bedsprings
- moaning actresses
- whisperers facing away from the mike
- etc.

Do you have/recommend any app for Android that enhances voices and reduces background noise?

Sometimes it's impossible if you don't speak the same language. So if you are lucky, a subtitle already exists with the full transcription.
Sometimes OpenAI-Whisper can understand it, but not always.

Final solution: let it blank, or invent what they might say.

On PC i use Audacity but it doesn't work miracles.

I just listen very closely or cut the video with FFMPEG around the audio in question. Let's say the garbled stuff is 5 seconds long, I take 10 seconds around it.

And then I use Whisper-AI with three different models. I only did this three or four times in my life.

Or I write

[garbled]

in the SRT and ask here in the forums. Example: Lion helped me with

PureTaboo: Noemie Bilas and Kyle Mason.
