When my sons were young, I would tell them elaborate stories where they were the main characters. I recorded most of the stories, but it is full of verbal fillers (um,ahh), since I was making it up as I went. I would love to convert the audio to text with Whisper, filter out fillers and then output the cleaned up version in my own voice. I could see this type of workflow being very popular with podcasters.
- sebastiennight 4y agoYou can already do what you are aiming for, without the transcription part (removing fillers with word-based filters does not give great results compared to removing with voice-based filters). You can use Descript, CleanVoice, and other tools to achieve exactly what you just said, in a few minutes, from just the original recording.
- peteforde 4y agoYou should absolutely do this, but please skip the Whisper. The reason is that if you speak with lots of verbal fillers, that's actually an important part of how you sound to other people. It makes sense to clean up audio for a podcast, but not for your great grandchildren. A voice cloner doesn't care that you say "um" too much. It's parsing audio for phonemes.
