New! Noise Removal Tool!

Quotation markPicture of Start-Stop Omniversal user Mickey who loves the new noise removal feature"The Noise Removal feature in the New OmniVersal is the most dramatic improvement in noise reduction I've ever come across.

"We deal with audio and video recordings from Law Enforcement, and this new feature makes that horrible recordings do-able."

Mickey Segal, President, American High-Tech Transcription

New Noise Removal Feature added 9/1/2016Cut out the Omniversal program control panel showing the noise removal button.New digital signal processing from HTH Engineering allows removal of all types of background noise present in poorly made, or noisy recordings. Remove street noise, white noise, repetitive noise sources like motors and AC hum, static, and instantly improve intelligibility. Makes the difference between inaudible and audible.

In combination with the multiband frequency equalizer feature already in Start-Stop OmniVersal, you can now enhance or pull voices even further out of the noise. This video and audio transcription software is ideal for law enforcement use, such as body cams, hidden microphones, outdoor witness and suspect interviews, or any application where audio quality is less than desirable.

New! Boost Amplify Tool!

New Noise Removal Feature added 9/1/2016Cut out the Omniversal program control panel showing the noise removal button.New Boost Amplify feature gives you the ability to digitally boost the volume of recordings by up to 1000% when transcribing any audio or video file. Perfect for situations where the original recording was made at a very low level, or audio or voices were very faint.

If you've already turned up your normal PC volume and other settings to "maximum", the new Boost Amplify will allow you to go up to 10 times further, boosting your PC's playback volume level while transcribing under foot pedal control. Use this new feature with care when using levels higher than 100%, since boosting up to 1000% can make the sound levels quite high, if desired.

 

New Features June 1, 2021!

New Frame Advance Feature added 5/1/2017Frame Mode

Now you can advance or rewind a single video frame at a time under foot pedal control and decide how many frames you want to move with each press of your foot pedal. Click for more information.

Frame Mode Time Stamping

Automatically insert Time Stamps with Frame Number included into any transcribed video document, at periodic intervals, or on-demand using the time stamp hotkey or foot pedal as a trigger. Click here for more information.

Support for Taser™ Axon Body Cam Video

Image of a police officers chest showing Taser Axon Body Cam in usePlay back and transcribe police and law enforcement Body Cam videos (now including Taser’s Axon Body Cams / Axon Trial Offer) under foot pedal control, with voice enhancement, background noise reduction, frame-by-frame advance/rewind and timestamping.

Since Taser™ (Axon) is now giving away free body cams to police officers (Taser rebrands as Axon and offers free body cameras to any police department), you can now transcribe the police videos from these devices as of Version 2.0.31 of Start-Stop OmniVersal Audio/Video/DVD Transcription System, with slow motion control, frame by frame movement, voice enhancement, and background noise removal from police videos.

Our video and audio transcription software system also allows forensic removal of interfering sounds (such as a motor, high-pitched sounds, and street noise) for effectively controlling playback under foot pedal control of the officer's video footage. Police departments and law enforcement groups can send individual Taser body camera video links (from Evidence.com) to share with an off-site or on-site transcriptionist, and with Start-Stop OmniVersal you can then securely transcribe law-enforcement video from body cameras.
