dxRevive
Emmy-winning AI speech restoration plugin from Accentize
About dxRevive
dxRevive is a speech restoration plugin from Accentize that removes noise and reverb and rebuilds missing frequency content, so damaged dialogue sounds closer to a studio recording. It processes locally with a neural network, runs in DAWs and video editors, and comes in a $99 creator version and a $299 Pro version for post production. dxRevive Pro won an Engineering, Science and Technology Emmy.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Rebuilds missing high and low frequencies, so cleaned dialogue sounds fuller instead of thin and filtered
- Strong all-rounder in independent dialogue shootouts, especially on outdoor noise
- Processes locally, which keeps confidential interview audio off the cloud
- Works in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and major DAWs
- One-time license with a 7-day free trial
Cons
- Desktop plugin only; there is no web or batch-upload service
- The more useful Pro version costs $299 and needs an iLok account
- Restoration can change a speaker's tone on heavy settings, so it needs careful A/B listening
- Not designed for spot repairs; one-off noises still need a spectral editor
