Audacity audio software now has new effects with OpenVINO AI for Windows users. New features include noise reduction and transcription useful for podcasts, music creation, remixing and music splitting.
OpenVINO (Open Visual Inference and Neural Network Optimization) is a toolkit released by Intel that allows deep learning models to run natively on Intel hardware. Each of these new features that OpenVINO leverages uses artificial intelligence that runs directly on your computer's hardware.
To use the OpenVINO plugins, you must download them from the GitHub page of Intel. Audacity states that you can compile the software from source for Linux and macOS versions, but has not provided instructions.
The Audacity is a free audio program cross-platform for recording and editing audio files. The application is cross-platform and thus is released for Windows, Mac os X, Linux and BSD. Audacity was created by Dominic Mazzoni when he was a student at Carnegie Mellon University.
It was recently acquired by the Muse Group, which appointed a new management team responsible for development and of course new features. A few days after the changeover, the new management decided to add some “basic telemetry capabilities” in the software.
