SnipSound's free filler word remover finds every um, uh and er in your recording and cuts them out — review each one, then cut or silence them — and download a tighter, cleaner file. Works on audio and video. 100% in your browser, your files never leave your device.

Remove my filler words Opens the tool with um, uh and er ready to cut — or try the sample recording.

What gets removed

These come ticked, because they are filler wherever they appear.

umuher

Opt-in, with a count so you can see how often you say them: like, so, you know, basically, right, actually, okay. Off by default — cutting every “like” would also cut “I like it”.

1

Load your file

Drop in a podcast, voice memo, or video. The audio is transcribed on your device.

2

See how much is filler

Each filler it detects is marked on a timeline, with the total — "0:48 of filler in 12:20". It is reliable on “um” and on word-like fillers (so, like, basically). Breathy sounds — uh, er, hmm, ah — are often not transcribed at all, so treat the total as a floor rather than a full count, and trust the list over the number.

3

Review and adjust

Untick anything you meant to say. Add like, so or you know if you want them gone too.

4

Cut and download

One button removes them all. Play the before and after, then download the tighter file.

Tighten up your recording

Free and private. See how much of your recording is filler, then cut it out.

Remove my filler words

Remove um, uh, and other filler words — for free

SnipSound's filler word remover transcribes your recording with an on-device AI model, marks each filler it detects with its exact time, and shows you how much of the recording they add up to. Review the list, untick anything you meant to say, then cut them all out and download a tighter file. Descript and Cleanvoice paywall this; here it is free and fully private.

Made for

You review every cut

The catch with auto-removal is false positives — a meaningful "so" or "like." That's why every detected filler is listed for you to review; untick the ones you meant to say before committing. No opaque "Smart Edit" that silently rewrites your audio.

Completely private

The AI runs in your browser, so your recording never leaves your device. The model downloads once, then detection, preview, and export all happen on your device.
