Clean Up Any Transcript — Remove Filler Words & Fix Formatting
Raw transcripts are cluttered with 'um', 'uh', run-on sentences, and punctuation errors that make them painful to read or share. Our AI cleaning pass strips every filler word, fixes grammar and punctuation, and restructures run-on sentences into clean, readable prose — all without changing the meaning of what was said or removing timestamps.
Everything You Need to Clean Up a Transcript with AI
Cleaning is just the first step. Once the transcript is polished, a full workspace of AI tools is available to take it further.
Rewrite & clean the transcript
Our AI removes filler words like 'um', 'uh', 'you know', and 'like'; fixes punctuation, capitalization, and run-on sentences; corrects speech-to-text homophones; and restructures choppy speech into clean, readable prose — all while preserving the original meaning and keeping timestamps intact.
Translate into supported languages
Once the transcript is clean, translate it into any supported language in a single click. Timestamps are preserved so translated subtitles still line up with the video — ideal for global content teams, localization workflows, or studying foreign-language videos.
Summarize, outline & MindMap
A clean transcript is far more useful as a summary input than a raw one. Generate a concise summary, a structured outline, or a visual mind map from the cleaned text — perfect for meeting recaps, lecture reviews, or podcast episode notes.
Raw Transcripts Are Full of Clutter — and Painful to Share
Every recorded transcript is riddled with 'um', 'uh', 'you know', 'like', false starts, and run-on sentences that make reading them a chore. Cleaning them manually takes as long as re-watching the original. AI-powered transcript cleaning removes all that noise in seconds — so you're left with polished, publication-ready text, not a wall of speech artifacts.

Ways to Use Clean Transcript
A cleaned transcript unlocks far more use cases than a raw one. Here's how people use it every day:
Publish podcast transcripts instantly
Turn raw podcast audio transcripts into clean, SEO-friendly text pages in minutes — no manual editing required. Clean, readable transcripts improve discoverability and give every episode lasting value as written content.
Fix YouTube auto-captions
YouTube's auto-generated captions are notoriously error-prone — wrong words, missing punctuation, and no paragraph breaks. Run them through Clean Transcript to get accurate, properly formatted captions ready to upload.
Polish interview transcripts
Interview transcripts are some of the messiest outputs you'll encounter — packed with false starts, overlapping speakers, and filler words. Clean Transcript removes the noise and structures the content so you can focus on the insights, not the editing.
Create clean research notes
Researchers recording interviews, focus groups, or field notes end up with raw transcripts that take hours to clean by hand. AI cleaning automates the tedious parts so you can get to analysis faster.
Stop Editing Transcripts by Hand
Paste a link or upload a file — AI removes filler words, fixes punctuation, and delivers a clean, readable transcript in seconds.
Frequently asked questions
What does Clean Transcript actually change?
It removes filler words ('um', 'uh', 'you know', 'like', false starts), fixes punctuation and capitalization, corrects common speech-to-text errors, and restructures run-on sentences into clean paragraphs — without changing the meaning or reordering the content.
Do timestamps survive the cleaning pass?
Yes. Timestamps are preserved in the cleaned output so you can still navigate back to exact moments in the source video.
Is Clean Transcript free?
The raw transcript is always free to view. Paid plans unlock copying, while AI cleaning uses Credits based on transcript length with the exact amount shown before you start.
Which platforms are supported?
YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. You can also upload a local video or audio file up to 5 GB.
Will it change what was actually said?
No. The AI is instructed to preserve meaning and only remove noise. It will not rephrase sentences, change word choices, or reorder content.
Can I clean a transcript I already have (not from a video link)?
Paste a video link or upload a file and we'll transcribe and clean in one step. Pasting raw text directly is not yet supported, but it's on the roadmap.
How accurate is the cleaning for technical or specialized content?
Very good for standard speech. For highly technical jargon or heavy accents, a quick proofread is recommended, but the cleaning still removes all filler words correctly.
Can I translate the cleaned transcript afterward?
Yes. Once the transcript is cleaned, you can translate it into supported languages directly in the same workspace — no copy-pasting required.
