Frequently Asked Questions
Will Voice Boost work on downloaded episodes?
Yes! Voice Boost processes audio in real-time during playback, so it works on streamed and downloaded episodes equally well.
Does audio enhancement use more battery?
Voice Boost uses Apple's optimized Accelerate framework for efficient on-device processing.
Can I disable enhancement for specific podcasts?
Yes. You can toggle Voice Boost on or off per podcast in that show's settings, or disable it globally and enable it only for podcasts that need it.
