Transcript Cleaner questions

Does this tool transcribe audio or video?

No. It cleans transcript text you already have, including pasted text and supported subtitle files.

Can it remove filler words?

Yes, as an optional text rule. Review the result because the same words can be intentional in some sentences.

Will it rewrite grammar or meaning?

No. The cleaner focuses on structural clutter such as timestamps, cue numbers, and repeated whitespace.
