- This tool trims silence and dead air — it does not detect or cut individual spoken words like "uh" or "um".
- Raise the minimum pause length to keep natural conversational beats and only cut the long, awkward gaps.
- Lower the sensitivity if quiet room tone is being treated as silence; raise it to catch fainter gaps.
- It works best on single-speaker recordings with clear audio and consistent background level.
- Removes silent pauses and dead air with ffmpeg silence detection
- Adjustable minimum pause length (0.5–5 seconds)
- Silence sensitivity control (−25 / −30 / −35 dB thresholds)
- Before/after A-B preview of the original and trimmed audio
- Keeps your original format (MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A)
- Tightening podcast recordings by cutting long gaps before publishing
- Trimming dead air from interview and webinar audio

No. This tool removes silent pauses and dead air only — it does not transcribe speech or detect individual spoken words. Word-level removal would require speech recognition, which this tool does not perform.
Only gaps quieter than the sensitivity threshold and longer than your minimum pause length are removed. Speech and other audible content are left untouched.
