nickjj on HNThis is excellent, well done! I'd be curious to know how it's done, as I don't know much about deep learning and this looks like magic to me.

nickjj on HNIs the example in the page really made by the computer? In my opinion the pauses in where the filler words were are slightly too long. Is it possible to configure this? Is it…

Export to editor project files such as EDL/ADL
From 2 comments
This is awesome. Can I suggest the ability to export as project files for popular editors for your roadmap? It'd cut professional workflows down substantially, which would be…
eganist on HNTo add to this, it might also be a good feature to output EDL files for video editors. https://www.rev.com/blog/how-to-import-an-edit-decision-list-edl-into-davinci-resolve This…

API access and bulk pricing
From 1 comment

Questions
How the models work and approach used
From 2 comments
Without giving away your secret sauce, what are your approaches to the cleaning process? Is it a combination of different passes of algos or is it something more generic and…

Auphonic

Krisp, Overcast, revoldiv
From 3 comments
It would be a huge engineering endeavour, which I wouldn't be capable of doing. That said, things like background noise and some sounds can be removed. See Krisp.ai
autoencoders on HNOvercast has features to do some of this on the listener side. I prefer having the AI on the listener side so I can go back to the raw version if the AI messes up for some reason.
throwaway1777 on HNrevoldiv.com has a similar feature set
