Cleanvoice
AI removes filler words and silences automatically
What it is
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.

Frequently asked questions
What does Cleanvoice actually do to my podcast audio?
Cleanvoice automatically removes filler words like 'um' and 'uh', mouth sounds, stutters, and dead silence from podcast recordings. It processes the audio file and returns a cleaned version without requiring manual editing in a DAW.
Does Cleanvoice have a free tier, and what are its limits?
Yes, Cleanvoice offers a free trial that includes 30 minutes of audio processing so you can test results before paying. Beyond that, you need a paid plan based on usage volume.
How is Cleanvoice priced after the free trial?
Cleanvoice uses a credit-based pricing model where you pay per minute of audio processed, with rates varying by plan tier. Exact current pricing is listed on their site at cleanvoice.ai, as rates can change.
Who is Cleanvoice a good fit for?
Cleanvoice suits solo podcasters and small teams who want to cut editing time without hiring an audio editor. It works best for conversational recordings with heavy filler word use rather than highly produced studio audio.
What are the main alternatives to Cleanvoice?
Descript offers similar filler word removal inside a full transcript-based editor, and Adobe Podcast's Enhance tool handles noise reduction and cleanup. Cleanvoice is more narrowly focused on automated removal of speech disfluencies without a broader editing environment.
What is an honest limitation of Cleanvoice I should know before committing?
Cleanvoice can misidentify intentional pauses or stylistic 'ums' as errors, which means the cleaned audio sometimes needs a manual review pass anyway. It also does not replace full audio restoration tools for recordings with significant background noise or poor mic quality.
