Cleanvoice saves a lot of time on audio cleanup at volume; for occasional editing, manual work is enough.
About
In practice. What you can do with Cleanvoice.
Cleanvoice automates repetitive audio post-production: filler words, long silences, breaths and mouth sounds, background-noise removal, Studio Sound enhancement, transcription and summaries. It also processes video podcasts and can export a timeline to a compatible editor.
The free trial processes 30 minutes without a credit card. The entry subscription costs $11 per month for 10 processed hours, and unused credits can roll over up to three times the plan limit. Pay-as-you-go starts at $11 for 5 hours, with credits valid for two years. Every plan includes the full cleanup feature set.
Cleanvoice is more complete than Adobe Podcast for removing filler words and small distractions across a whole episode. Adobe remains simpler and more generous for enhancing an occasional voice recording for free.
