CEDAR Audio CFE (Forensic Enhance) Plug-In is a specialized speech enhancement tool designed to improve the clarity and intelligibility of spoken audio captured in challenging real-world environments. Originally developed from the technology used in CEDAR's Trinity surveillance system, CFE helps users recover clearer speech from recordings affected by noise, making it particularly valuable for forensic investigations, law enforcement, legal proceedings, security applications, and evidence review. It is equally effective for improving interviews, reports, and other recordings made in noisy locations. The plug-in combines four simple yet powerful processing tools that work together to suppress unwanted noise and bring speech into sharper focus. Dedicated controls can reduce steady sounds such as vehicle rumble, air conditioning, electrical hum, and fan noise, while broadband noise reduction helps minimize hiss and general background distractions. Additional processing can emphasize speech relative to other sounds or reveal quieter details occurring in the background of a recording, allowing users to uncover information that may otherwise be difficult to hear. Designed for ease of use, CFE enables both experienced audio professionals and novice users to achieve meaningful improvements quickly without the complexity often associated with advanced forensic audio restoration tools. Compatible with major audio and video editing platforms, CFE is available in AAX Native 64, AU, and VST3 formats for Windows and macOS systems. Its streamlined interface focuses on fast, effective results, making it an essential addition to forensic audio workflows where improving speech intelligibility and listener comprehension is a priority.
