HOW IT WORKS

How to shorten pauses automatically

The tool finds quiet sections and shortens them. It is useful for spoken recordings with long gaps. In Cleanup, enable silence removal and adjust the silence threshold and minimum pause length.

  1. 01

    Add a file

    Upload audio or video from your device. Videos can also be added by link or from cloud storage.

  2. 02

    Adjust the result

    Set the silence threshold and minimum pause length. Preview the result: quiet speech may also fall below the selected threshold.

  3. 03

    Preview and download

    Compare with the original and save in your selected format.

What do threshold and pause length mean?

The threshold defines what counts as silence, from −60 to −20 dB. A threshold of −20 dB includes more quiet sounds than −60 dB. The minimum length, from 0.2 to 3 seconds, determines how long a quiet section must last. Start with −40 dB and 0.5 seconds, then assess the result.

What if words are being cut off?

Lower the threshold, for example from −40 to −50 dB, or increase the minimum pause length. Quiet speech and musical fades can also be detected as silence. Listen to the entire processed recording. The exact output duration is known after processing and may be shorter than the initial estimate.

Which files are supported?

MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, AAC, Opus and videos with audio. Up to 500 MB per file and 60 minutes of audio.
