How it works

  1. 1

    Paste a link to a talking video, or upload it.

  2. 2

    It transcribes every word, then finds the ums, stutters, false starts, dead air — and the takes you re-recorded, keeping only the one you meant.

  3. 3

    Every proposed cut is shown with a confidence score before anything is removed. Keep the ones you want, then export with motion-smoothed joins.

What Speech Cleanup does

Speech Cleanup transcribes a talking video, then finds everything worth cutting: um's and ah's, stutters, false starts, dead air — and the takes you re-recorded, where it keeps the one you meant and drops the rest.

Every proposed cut arrives with a confidence score, and none of them happen until you agree. That matters more than it sounds: an over-eager filler remover that takes a breath out of the middle of a sentence produces audio that sounds edited, which is worse than one that left the um in.

The joins are motion-smoothed and loudness-matched, so a cleaned video does not announce itself with a visual jump and a level change at every edit. A Descript and Captions AI alternative that happens to sit inside a full creator studio rather than being the whole product.

Speech Cleanup questions

What does it actually remove?
Filler words, stutters, false starts, dead air, and repeated takes — where it keeps the take you meant and drops the earlier attempts. Each one is proposed with a confidence score rather than cut silently.
Will the cuts be visible in the video?
The joins are motion-smoothed and loudness-matched, which is what stops a cleaned video jumping visually and changing level at every edit. That smoothing is the difference between "tightened" and "obviously chopped".
Can I review the edits before exporting?
Yes. Every proposed cut is shown with its confidence score, and you keep the ones you want. Nothing is removed on your behalf.
How is this different from Descript?
Descript is a full transcript-based editor you work inside. This runs as a pass over your footage — it proposes the cuts, you approve them — and the same subscription also covers shorts, thumbnails, B-roll, captions and the BudgetPixel generation platform.
