A free alternative to Descript
Edit a podcast or voice recording by editing its transcript.
Open the tool, it's freeFree · no account · no watermark · your files stay on your device
Open a recording and press Transcript. Clipabay writes down every word on your own device. Select words and press Delete, and the sound is cut to match. One click removes um and uh, another shortens long pauses, and you can save the transcript as captions.
Then use the rest of the audio editor to remove background noise, make the voice clear and set the loudness for podcasts. Descript is still more polished for team projects and has overdub voices. Clipabay is free and your recordings never leave your computer.
