What the Filler Word Remover Cuts
It listens for hesitation sounds, the filled pauses people make while they think, and removes only those.
Um and uh
The classic hesitation sounds in talks, podcasts and calls, removed with a short crossfade so the words around them join naturally.
Er, erm and hmm
Longer and softer filled pauses are caught too, up to about two seconds each.
Nothing else
Words, breaths and natural pauses stay. Words such as "like" or "you know" are not removed, because they can be real words.
