Filler cleaner
The goal is not to remove every filler word. It is to remove the ones that were never part of how you speak, and leave the ones that were, because a cut that takes all of them makes the next one obvious.
Included on every paid plan, and in the 7-day trial. Needs the local speech model.
Pure hesitation — “um”, “uh”, “er”, and their stretched forms — is almost never meant, so it is ticked by default.
Hesitation phrases like “I mean” and “you know” are ticked only when the surrounding speech says they are padding.
Context-dependent words — “like”, “actually”, “basically”, “literally” — are listed but never ticked for you. Removing “like” from “it looked like a bug” produces nonsense, and no confidence score is worth that risk.
Confidence here is about the removal, not the transcription. A drawn-out “ummmm” is one of the least cleanly transcribed things in any recording, and for a long time that counted against it: the tool scored it as an uncertain word and declined to cut it, which meant the most obvious filler in the file was the one it skipped.
Pure hesitations are now judged on what they are rather than on how cleanly the model heard them. Everything else still weighs the transcription, because for a real word a poor transcription is a genuine reason not to cut.
Each removal trims the word and a little either side, never more than half the real gap around it, so words are not welded together.
Picture and dialogue are cut together, so the video track does not fall out of step. Run silence removal first, then fillers: it is easier to judge a stumble once the dead air around it is gone.
Yes. Filler removal reads a transcript, which means the speech model has to be installed. The model downloads the first time you use it and runs on your own machine afterwards, so nothing is uploaded.
Only if you tick them. Anything context-dependent starts unticked, and anything below the confidence threshold is listed rather than selected, so you opt in instead of having a word removed on a guess.
Check the tick boxes in the review list. Words the tool is not sure about, and words like “like” that are real words as often as they are filler, are listed unticked on purpose.
