Frequently asked questions
How does automatic silence removal work?
The tool scans the first audio track for intervals below your chosen level. Only intervals at least as long as the minimum pause are flagged. Review the list and uncheck any pause you want to keep. This is level-based detection, not speech recognition: quiet words, music or room tone can affect the result.
How can I avoid cutting off words?
Start around −40 dBFS with a half-second minimum pause and 0.1 seconds kept around cuts. A lower threshold, such as −50 dBFS, treats less audio as silence. Increase the padding to retain breaths and natural gaps. Preview the original and the exported recording before publishing.
What files and limits are supported?
Audio-only recordings export as PCM WAV; videos export as H.264 MP4 with AAC audio. Only the first picture and audio streams are retained. Cuts re-encode video and may land on adjacent video frames. Files stay on your device. Choose files under 300 MB, with up to 200 detected pauses and 64 remaining sections per export. Completely silent recordings cannot export an empty file.
