As you have already read on our web site the Fast Duplicate File Finder can find similar files of any type. Why we provide Audio Dedupe and Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder then?
Fast Duplicate File Finder compares the content of the files. The feature for finding similar files compares the data and looks for identical chunks inside two files in order to determine the percentage of similarity. This tool will easily identify similar documents (Word, Excel, TXT et.), archives (RAR, ZIP etc.) or any other type of binary file.
Audio Dedupe performs a true audio decoding and analysis and compares the actual audio content rather than the file data. This allows it to find duplicate audio files even if they are stored in completely different file formats. When the audio files are stored in different file formats it means that the binary data inside of the file can be completely different even if the audio is the same. You can easily understand that a standard duplicate finder that relies on comparing the binary data will not manage to locate duplicate audio files stored in different file formats.
Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder performs an image analysis and can find similar and duplicate images even if they are stored in different image formats. Two image files can be visually identical even if the binary data stored in the file is completely different - same as for the audio files.
Now having in mind the above information you can understand that the three tools perform completely different tasks. As the tools are targeted towards different aims they perform their tasks much better than having a single tool that tries to cover all the aims above.
