Transcript cleanupAvailable now

Keep the thought. Cut the extra.

A good take can have a few rough edges. Read through your recording, find the moments that slow it down and clean up pauses, hesitations and repeated words.

Automatic transcription currently supports English recordings up to 30 minutes. Review the cleanup and keep the cuts that fit your voice.

Illustrative workflow preview

BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK

Edit the words. Hear the difference.

Use the transcript to move through a recording, then check the result on your timeline. You stay in charge of the final cut.

01

Find a moment by reading

Navigate your recording through its transcript instead of repeatedly scrubbing through the same take.

02

Set your pause threshold

Choose the minimum pause duration you want cleanup to target. Pauses remain visible in the transcript when you prefer to work through them yourself.

03

Clean up, then review

Apply the detected pause, hesitation and repetition cuts in one action. Play the edit back and use undo if you want to restore the previous version.

FROM START TO FINISH

A clear next step, every time.

Keep your work moving with a workflow you can follow.

  1. 1

    Transcribe the recording

    Run transcription in your project. The transcript becomes your guide to the words and pauses in the take.

  2. 2

    Choose the pacing

    Set a minimum pause duration and apply cleanup, or use the visible transcript moments for more deliberate manual cuts.

  3. 3

    Listen to the result

    Review the edited video before exporting. Speech detection is a useful starting point; your ear makes the final decision.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS

Before you get started.

Can I undo a cleanup?

Yes. Bulk cleanup is an undoable editing action. Use the editor's undo command or Ctrl+Z to restore the edit before that cleanup.

Will it remove every unwanted sound automatically?

Detection can miss or misclassify a sound, especially around speech. Review the result and trim individual moments when needed before exporting.

Which recordings can I transcribe?

Automatic transcription currently supports English source recordings up to 30 minutes. You can also import an SRT or VTT transcript for a longer recording.
