Sound experts are no longer super rare
There are various cases where you have trouble with the recorded sound quality, but since the voice data you want to use in trials etc. is used as a "trump card for evidence" that affects your life, it is an exorbitant price that takes advantage of that psychology. There seems to be some services that have settings.

Obviously "terrible sound" cannot be easily improved even by a professional
Even with the latest technology, it is obviously difficult to clean a terrible noisy voice, and the more noise there is, the more laborious editing is involved. In some cases, working on a sound material of only 5 minutes for more than 8 hours can only improve it slightly .
It takes different time depending on the type of noise
However, depending on the type, you can easily reduce it by having a computer analyze the noise component. The noise of "sir" and "shoe" that tends to enter voice recorders is relatively easy . * If the recording time is long (several hours), the processing time on the computer will be enormous and it will take time and effort.
"Za", "Don", "Kacha (tableware)", "Goto (sound of putting things)", "Kasha (shutter sound)", and other noise reductions such as sneezing and voice of people are quite difficult.
Each of these sounds is manually processed by checking the location where the sound is produced. (Addition 17'May / These are also automated to some extent) Even with 5 minutes of voice, it is possible to repair more than 100 places, which is time-consuming and the estimate tends to rise.
It's meaningless if you don't use proper headphones and earphones

"You don't have to reduce the noise of tableware and the voice in the store." "But I'm worried about ✖️✖️ around 3 minutes and 40 seconds." "Please make the conversation easier to hear." .. Still, if you have an estimate of tens of thousands of yen, it is wise to contact another person.
Delivery date setting that surely improves the improvement probability
Depending on the sound source, the length of the video, and the recording status, the work time will vary greatly. Unlike video, sound is invisible. Even with a wealth of experience as an engineer, the improvement process involves some trial and error. Even with the same sound source, if the delivery time is long, the number of trials and errors will increase accordingly, so the improvement probability will definitely improve. It's a good idea to make a comfortable delivery request.
