Descript: remove filler words from a recording
Remove the ums and ahs from a recording by editing text instead of scrubbing a waveform.
The job, in plain English
Remove the ums and ahs from a recording by editing text instead of scrubbing a waveform.
3 steps
- Bring your recording into Descript; it turns the audio into a transcript.
- Use its filler-word tool to find the ums and ahs.
- Remove them, then listen to the result before you keep it.
Watch out: Listen back before you keep the edit, so the cleaned recording still sounds natural.
Edit the text. Remove the ums. Listen back.
