Upload audio, get a cleaned file back with filler words, mouth sounds, and silences gone.
Filler word removal
Cleanvoice is the lazy-but-effective approach: upload, wait, download. It catches filler words and mouth noise that even Descript misses, and the pay-as-you-go credits last two years — kind to occasional users. Not an editor, just a cleanup pass that sits in front of your real workflow.
Cleanvoice AI is a single-purpose audio cleanup service: you upload your raw recording, the AI removes filler words, stutters, mouth sounds, long silences, and background noise, and you download a cleaned file usually within minutes. It's not an editor, it's a pre-processor that you drop in front of your normal workflow. Where it earns its keep is in catching the small ick sounds that almost every other tool ignores: lip smacks, clicks between sentences, breath noises that distract more than they should. For interview shows where you have three guests stacked on top of one another, the multi-speaker mode handles each track. Pricing structure rewards different commitment levels: subscriptions from around $11/mo for 10 hours processed monthly, $25/mo for 30 hours, or $75/mo for 100 hours, with annual billing trimming the rate further. Pay-as-you-go credits stay valid for 2 years, useful for podcasters who batch a season at a time — 5 hours for $11, 10 for $20, 30 for $45. A free trial with no credit card lets you test the output before paying. Output is a clean file you bring back into Descript, Hindenburg, Audition, or whatever DAW you already use. As a complement to a real editor, Cleanvoice is one of the highest-impact additions to a podcast stack.
