Silenz for Mac

Maker

Hi everyone! I would like to introduce you to Silenz - my indie Mac app dedicated to headphones users. It's a media controller and audio analyser which can react to the human voice and control iTunes or other media apps (Spotify, Deezer, VOX, VLC). I made the app for myself to reduce mundane activities like pausing, turning the volume down and removing the headphones when someone is speaking to me. It can also amplify and mix surrounding sounds with your music. And it does all of this automatically, using advanced audio analysis. I'll be happy to answer any questions about the app.

@_grow_ I'm curious, what kind of audio analysis are you using to make it work? (High level signal processing) The auto pausing is cool. =)

@paulsolt Hi Paul, without getting too much into the details, Silenz computes and analyzes several audio features obtained both from time and frequency domains. To do that it uses FFT and wavelets. Analyzed features are mostly characteristics of a human voice. All of it allows Silenz to discard for example keystrokes, mouse clicks or the sound of a mug put on the desk :)
