Fixi's verdict: Fixable

Cleans up hum, fans and room echo on speech very well. Not made for music.

The problem

A great conversation recorded next to a fan, in traffic or in an echoey room is hard to listen to. AI speech enhancers separate the voice from the noise and rebuild a cleaner voice track.
