What they are
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.
Granola
Granola captures device audio directly, no bot joins your call, no recording announcement plays, and enhances the rough notes you type during a meeting with context from the transcript. It works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, and in-person sessions on Mac, Windows, and iOS. Popular with VCs, consultants, and sales teams who need accurate notes without a visible third-party participant. The free plan covers core note-taking, but meeting history is capped at 30 days until you upgrade.
