Remove filler words from audio

Yes. Audo removes filler words for free for the first 2 minutes of each recording or video, 3 times a day, with no sign-up. Full files are $0.02 a minute ($1.20 an hour), with no subscription — see pricing.

Add the audio or video recording at the top of this page. Audo finds filler words (such as um, uh, er, and hmm) and repeated words, cuts them in the quiet pauses around them, and keeps a short natural pause with a brief crossfade so the timing still feels natural. On a video, the picture and sound are cut together.

Sounds such as um, uh, er, and hmm, and words said twice in a row, such as “the the”. It leaves words that need context, such as “like” and “you know”. English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, and Korean each have their own list of fillers; in other languages, it looks only for sounds such as uh and hmm, and keeps any that are real words there, such as “um” in Portuguese.

No. It cuts only in the quiet around each filler and keeps a short pause from the recording itself, room sound and all, with a brief crossfade at each join. When a filler runs straight into a word, it's left in, and the result says so.

A word, or a phrase of up to three words, said twice in a row, such as “the the” or “we, uh, we”. It keeps the second one. Switch off Also cut repeated words to cut only um, uh, and the like.

Yes, once you're signed in. The result lists every cut: untick any you want back, then press Cut only these.

Add the video just as you would a recording. The picture is cut along with the sound, and you get the video back, tighter.

No. It cuts fillers and repeats, and keeps a natural pause where each one was. Remove silence shortens long pauses and dead air.
