Historical tape
Amelia Earhart
A 1935 broadcast restored for clarity without turning it into fake modern audio.
Professional noise removal and speech restoration.
Diffio is built for messy recordings, room noise, distant mics, old tape, and live events. Upload your audio or video, apply a restoration preset, and get back crystal-clear speech that is easy to follow. If you want the workflow first, read how it works; if you want a benchmark, open the Adobe Podcast alternative page.
Real recordings capture everything: air-conditioners, traffic, hiss, and echo. Diffio's AI models are trained specifically on human speech. They reduce background noise while preserving consonants and natural tone, avoiding the synthetic "radio filter" effect common in other tools. For a direct head-to-head example, hear the Adobe benchmark clips.
Whether you're working with archival tape, a distant room mic, or a guest calling in from a noisy space, the priority is always intelligibility and natural delivery. Record in the browser or upload a file, choose a preset, and save the restored version as your new master for editing, mixing, or transcribing.

Upload a video and Diffio automatically extracts the audio, runs our speech cleanup pipeline, and keeps everything perfectly in sync with the picture. There's no need to round-trip through a DAW just to make dialogue clear before you start editing.
Ideal for talking-head YouTube videos, conference talks, webinars, and field interviews. Clean the full video once, then hand that pristine track to your editor so every export sounds professional from start to finish.
Switch between the live room recording and a cleaner, more intelligible result.
Every upload lives in its own project with a name you choose. Add an optional description when it helps you remember the source file or delivery, then open the same project later to run another pass, share a link, or download outputs.
Your dashboard lists every project in one place, so teams and creators can keep ongoing work under one account. Because projects live in the cloud, you can open them from the studio, your home, or any logged-in device.
Diffio keeps the original and the processed version side by side. Switch between them instantly in the player to hear exactly what changed, rather than guessing from settings or file names.
Producers use this to decide how aggressive to be with cleanup and to share honest before-and-after examples with clients. You don't need to export multiple WAVs or constantly rename files to track your tests.
If you care about objective quality, you can open our Adobe comparison page to hear matched clips and see listening-test style metrics on difficult speech.
Long-form speech
Restore a sermon recording so the voice stays understandable over a long listen.
After restoration, Diffio generates transcripts that match the enhanced audio your listeners actually hear. Cleaning the speech first drastically reduces misheard words and dropped consonants, resulting in highly accurate names, technical terms, and quotes.
Editors get text that lines up perfectly for show notes, captions, and chapter markers. Researchers and journalists get transcripts where important details survive the first pass instead of vanishing into the noise. Teams that want to move faster can review pricing after they see the cleanup steps.
The Amelia Earhart sample below is "hard mode" audio that still yields a readable transcript after cleanup.

Your projects and files live securely in Diffio's cloud. Stop swapping USB drives or emailing heavy exports to yourself. Upload once, process as many times as you like, and access your entire library from anywhere.
Share access with your team or keep everything in a single account. Storage scales with your plan, allowing you to build a searchable, organized library of cleaned masters.
Upload a file, run a preset, and flip between the noisy and cleaned versions in the player. If it makes the recording easier to follow, save it as your new master and use it everywhere else.
