Fillers are invisible while you talk and deafening on playback. PaperEdits highlights every one it finds, you glance over the list, and one click removes them all. Undo works.

“I say “um” every fourth word and I can’t hear it until I’m editing at 1 a.m.”latenight_uploads
“Cutting them by hand takes longer than recording the video did.”jay.records
The worst part isn’t the ums. It’s hunting for them one by one on a timeline, cutting, and praying the sentence still flows.
Open your video. It transcribes right in your browser, word by word.
Type “highlight the filler words”. Every um, uh and like lights up in the transcript.
Glance over them, hit Apply. The video tightens itself. Anything you miss, undo brings back.
You see before it cutsNothing disappears silently. Highlights first, your call second.
The sentence still flowsCuts land on word boundaries from the transcript, not guesswork on a waveform.
Struck words stay restorableCut words stay visible, struck through. Click to bring one back.
Free and privateTranscription happens on your machine. Nothing uploads.
It never cuts without showing you first. Fillers get highlighted, you glance over them, then apply. Undo brings anything back.
Some transcription tools quietly rewrite fillers into real words, which makes them impossible to find. We built a test file with counted fillers so you can check any tool, including ours.
Whisper runs in a web worker with word-level timestamps. Filler detection works on the transcript; cuts are range operations on the edit list, so they’re non-destructive and fully undoable.
