There's no reason to lock yourself into an intel-only solution. Just use DeepFilterNet. The results of this on my noisy server room were insanely good. Almost no voice dropout with 100% fan noise removal.

EDIT: Even more interesting, it looks like OpenVino is just DeepFilterNet glued to Whisper.cpp and tied to Intel hardware.

I found a very old audio cassette from my childhood with me and some other kids talking while a song is playing in background. I tried subtracting the song using Audacity but for that to work reference song and recording must align "perfectly" which is very very hard. Not just the timing (which i found can be a problem with cassettes) loudness/frequency distribution must also align perfectly.
Found Smartsubtract https://oxfordwaveresearch.com/products/smartsubtract/ which seems to do exactly the same but it's not available for download.
Is there any (AI even?) tool that might do that? I tried an online AI tool which claimed it can extract voices but it returned back silence. I want to try OpenVino but not sure it will be useful with faint spoken words in a noisy environment with a song.
