Frequently asked
Short answers about formats, limits and privacy.
What filler words are removed by default?
Default filler words include um, uh, like, you know, er, and ah. You can also customize the list to match your vocabulary needs.
Are bracketed tags like [Applause] removed?
Yes. The tag cleaner strips square brackets, round parentheses, and angle brackets containing sound annotations or inaudible markers.
How does duplicate line removal work?
Auto captions often repeat identical lines across cue transitions. The cleaner identifies consecutive duplicate lines and retains only one instance.
