Descript
AI-powered video and podcast editor with transcription-first workflows.
VideoFreemium
Automated audio post-production: leveling, noise reduction, loudness normalization, and transcripts.
Overview
Auphonic is a web service that processes finished recordings automatically. Users upload audio or video, choose presets, and the tool applies adaptive leveling between speakers, noise and hum reduction, loudness normalization to podcast and broadcast standards, filler word and silence cutting, and optional speech-to-text with speaker detection in many languages. Output formats include MP3, AAC, WAV, and video, with chapters and metadata embedded. It is widely used by podcasters, educators, and small media teams who want consistent sound without learning an audio editor. Processed files can be published directly to YouTube, SoundCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, Libsyn, and other hosts, and an API supports automated pipelines. Pricing is by hours of processed audio per month, with a free allowance of two hours. It does not edit content or structure an episode, so it complements rather than replaces a recording and editing tool, and heavy noise can still require manual work.
