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.
Riverside
Riverside records audio and video locally on each participant's device, then uploads lossless files to the cloud, so a shaky internet connection never ruins a take. It's used by podcasters, journalists, and video creators who need broadcast-quality recordings from remote guests. The built-in AI tools handle transcription, clip creation, and basic editing. One honest note: the interface has a learning curve for guests who aren't tech-savvy.
