I have some audio tapes of meetings, phone calls, and the like. Tape
recordings of speaking voices (not singing) where sometimes the sound is not
very good, and sometimes there is a lot of ambient noise. Does anyone know
of a good software solution for improving the intelligibility of the voices
on the tapes? Would Adobe Audition do a good job? Is there a cheaper
solution?

Thanks very much.

Audacity (free), Goldwave (slight fee but more options).

Thanks very much. I've looked at Goldwave and its probably my best choice.

It has more options than Audacity and is easier to use. I've used it since
version 4 and swear by it. The filters are great.

I would agree... Goldwave is about as good as it gets without spending big
bucks on something like Sonic Foundary. Great choice!
