Question 1

What filler words does it remove?

Accepted Answer

By default it removes um, uh, ah, like, you know, so, right, okay, basically, literally, actually, honestly, anyway, I mean, you see, kind of, sort of, and more. You can also add your own custom words in the "Extra words to remove" field.

Question 2

Is this tool free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — guests can try it immediately with no sign-up. Creating a free account gives you 25 credits. One filler-removal job typically costs 2–5 credits depending on video length.

Question 3

How accurate is the filler word detection?

Accepted Answer

Our AI uses word-level speech recognition with millisecond-accurate timestamps to identify fillers precisely. Accuracy is high for clear audio in English. Background noise or heavy accents may reduce precision.

Question 4

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Filler detection works best in English. Our AI can transcribe many languages, but the built-in filler word list is English-only. You can add custom words in any language using the extra words field.

Question 5

Will it affect pauses or natural speech rhythm?

Accepted Answer

Only the detected filler words are cut — natural pauses between sentences are preserved. Cuts are made precisely at word boundaries, so the speech flow remains smooth.

Question 6

Is my video uploaded to your servers?
