Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you enhance poor-quality audio recordings for legal use?
Yes. Orphic Sound provides technical forensic audio enhancement and restoration for legal-use, investigative, corporate, and high-sensitivity recordings. The work focuses on improving speech intelligibility, reducing noise or distortion, isolating relevant voices, and preserving the original material whenever possible. Deliverables may include improved audio files, before/after comparison, documented processing, and clear technical limitations. This is a technical audio service with professional documentation, not an expert-witness report or courtroom testimony service.
Q: Can you restore audio that other labs have failed to recover?
Yes. Many clients come to us after previous forensic reports declared their audio “unrecoverable.”
Through advanced manual spectral analysis and custom DSP, we frequently extract intelligible speech that automated systems cannot detect.
Q: Is your identity masking truly irreversible?
Yes. Our transformations are non-linear and cannot be reversed, reconstructed, or analytically undone.
Only the message remains - the speaker’s biometric identity is fully removed.
Q: How fast can I get an assessment?
Most evaluations are completed within 24 hours.
Q: Do you work under NDA and maintain chain-of-custody?
Absolutely. Confidentiality and evidentiary integrity are core to our operation.
Q: What file formats do you accept?
Any standard audio or video format is accepted. Original, uncompressed sources are preferred.
Q: Can speech be isolated from heavy background noise?
Yes. Using forensic spectral enhancement and advanced filtering techniques, we can often isolate intelligible speech from noisy environments and overlapping sounds.
Q: Can surveillance recordings be improved for investigations?
Yes. We work with surveillance, hidden recorder, phone, and field recordings for investigative and legal applications.
