AI removes filler words and silences automatically
What they are
Audacity
Audacity is a free, open-source desktop application for recording, editing, and processing audio on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Podcasters, musicians, and voice-over artists use it to cut recordings, apply effects, and export to common formats. It covers the fundamentals well, though its interface feels dated compared to modern DAWs and it lacks native multi-track timeline editing for complex productions.
Cleanvoice
Cleanvoice is an AI audio editor that detects and removes filler words, mouth sounds, stutters, and dead silence from podcast and voice recordings. Podcasters, solo creators, and interview hosts upload audio files and get a cleaned version back without manual editing. Processing is asynchronous, so you submit a file and return when it is done. The per-minute pricing model means light users pay less, but heavy producers can hit costs quickly.
