Dialogue intelligence isn't stated in EBU R.128 and the US equivalent, (A/85?) however, lots of broadcasters still want Dialogue intelligence on to be able to get an accurate DialNorm figure.

In the UK, using dialogue intelligence has never been part of specs, and now we're going over to loudness, it's measured for the whole programme.

Dolby Media Meter and the new LM100 firmware can give a figure for Dialogue intelligence, but measured in LKFS not just the original Leq(A) figure. No other loudness meters offer a Dialogue Intelligence mode as it is not part of most loudness specs.

I'm guessing broadcasters who used to ask for an Leq(A) Dialogue level have kept that spec, but are now asking for it to be measured in LKFS instead.
