See what would be removed
Hesitations, discourse markers and repeated words are marked in the text. Intensifiers, clichés, wordy phrases, passive voice and long sentences stay visible as separate hints.
Clean, then read it back
Clean fillers removes hesitations, discourse markers, repeats and intensifiers, and shortens wordy phrases from the list. The original stays until you change it.
Download the cleaned text
Copy the result or download it as a text file. A word like just can still carry meaning, so read the cleaned version before you send it on.
Who is speaking?
Speaker names are read from the paste. They are not inferred from audio.
Swiss German transcription
Swiss German fillers use the German lists. Dialect markers are not split out.

Before you start
Is this tool free?
Yes. No account and no upload. Matching and cleaning run in this tab.
Which filler words are removed?
Hesitations, discourse markers, immediate repeats and intensifiers. Clichés, passive voice and run-on sentences are highlighted and left for you to edit.
How is the rate calculated?
Hits divided by total words, times 100. A phrase like you know is one hit.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Lists and rules run locally in the browser.
Why does my transcript show fewer ums than I remember?
Many transcripts, including output from Transcribe a recording, drop hesitations. Transcribe first, then clean what the text actually contains.
Can it remove filler words from a recording?
Not from the audio. Use Transcribe a recording, then open Clean filler words from the result. The download is text.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. Choose the page language. Lists cover English, German, French and Italian.
