Problem

The client's Android application helps dyslexic students process and absorb information. The app records the lecturer's speech and analyzes it during playback.

But the app had a bug—poor noise suppression. This issue caused problems with the quality of the recorded audio. To enable high-quality recording, the company turned to Softeq. Our task was to implement an effective audio-processing algorithm within the app.

Solution

Android-App-with-Smart-Audio-Processing-Algorithms

It is an audio recording mobile application that allows the creation of audio files organized in a simple PC-style filing system for easy retrieval of recordings. The audio and bookmark files can be uploaded to a number of note-taking management programs for subsequent playback, editing and further study.

To achieve high quality of the recording, the Softeq team implemented custom regulators to compensate for noise distortions based on a special algorithm. It enables the app to assess the incoming sound properties and process it so that it corresponds to a more acceptable quality level by verifying the following parameters:

  • Checking the Automatic Gain Control of the device is in ‘Off’ mode
  • Measuring the RMS sound level and depending on the min and max threshold set modifying it to the required value if the sound is: constantly high, constantly low, high sharp

Technical Characteristics:

  • Allows up to 100 hours recording depending on the device
  • Records in MP4 and WAV file formats
  • Offers 4 different quality settings

Functional Features:

  • An unlimited number of bookmarks enabling the user to record and then scroll between bookmarks during the playback for easier note-taking recall, editing and analysis
  • Taking photographs while recording, store and export with the associated audio and bookmark files
  • Easy manipulation of files and folders
  • Export via email, Dropbox or WiFi
  • Listen and record at the same time
  • Tuner
  • Black background lighting option for use in darkened lecture halls or classrooms
