Remove filler words and silence from video

Upload your talking-head, vlog or podcast clip and type "cut my filler words". MakeAIReel transcribes your speech, finds every umm, uh, retake and long pause, cuts them on clean word boundaries and keeps your original voice. You get a captioned reel back, and you can ask for lighter or tighter cuts in the chat.

What it does

  • Umms, uhs and retakes

    Filler words and repeated starts are found in the transcript and cut out.

  • Long pauses and silence

    Dead air between sentences is shortened so the reel keeps moving.

  • Light, balanced or tight

    Light only removes the umms and keeps a natural pace; tight cuts every pause.

  • Best take only

    Said a line three times? Ask to keep the best one and the others go.

  • Keeps your voice

    Your original audio stays. No AI voiceover replaces you unless you ask.

  • Captions included

    Subtitles come from what you actually said, in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
