earshot

Is the dialogue actually audible, or is it you?

78% of people say background music makes dialogue hard to hear, and about half of all viewers now watch with subtitles on. Nearly three in four of them name the mix rather than their own hearing.

This measures how far the talking sits above everything under it, using the same gated loudness the broadcast standards use, and tells you where in the runtime it goes wrong. Direct links to a media file, please — not a page that contains one. Under 80 MB and under 30 minutes.

It is honest about what it cannot do: where the voice and the bed are within a decibel of each other it says so instead of printing a number.
