Intel has released an AI tool suite called OpenVINO AI for the open source audio editing program Audacity. The plugins allow users to transcribe podcasts locally and generate music based on prompts.
OpenVINO AI is only compatible with 64-bit Audacity 3.4.2 for Windows and must be installed manually from files provided via GitHub. The repositories were published on the platform by Intel a few weeks ago, but the announcement of the tools by the organization behind Audacity only took place on Tuesday. For now, users on Linux or macOS will have to compile themselves. It’s not clear whether the model will ultimately be released natively for these operating systems.
According to the developers of Audacity, several plug-ins have been made available, including three tools for music, namely Music Generation, Music Style Remix and Music Separation. The first two tools use the Riffusion model, a branch of Stable Diffusion, to generate or remix music from text prompts. The music separation tool allows users to split an existing song into multiple tracks. According to the organization, the tool can split a song into vocals and instruments or into the four tracks of vocals, drums and bass, and remaining instruments.
In addition, two tools are available for spoken audio content: noise reduction and transcription. These plugins allow users to remove background noise or transcribe spoken audio using AI. All OpenVINO AI tools run locally and therefore do not require an internet connection to Intel servers.
