FAQ
Which filler words does this catch?
Common verbal tics like um, uh, like, basically, actually, honestly, and just, along with the extra commas they tend to introduce — the ones that clutter a transcript but carry no meaning.
Will it change words that are meant to stay?
It targets filler usage specifically, not every instance of a word — "just" as a filler ("just ship it") is removed differently than "just" meaning "fair" in other contexts. Always skim the result before using it.
Is this good for cleaning up interview transcripts?
Yes — it's a common use case: paste a raw transcript, get a cleaner read-through draft before you quote or publish it.
