( Alternatives )
A Cleanvoice alternative that finishes the episode
Cleanvoice takes a recording and hands it back with the “um”s, stutters, mouth sounds and dead air removed. That is a genuinely useful pass — and in Cast it is step one of five. The other four are the edit, the music, the loudness and the export, on the same screen.

| Scope | A cleanup pass over the recording | Clean, edit, score, level, export — one place |
| Fillers & mouth sounds | Its core job | Same job, with every cut listed and reversible |
| Review | You accept the processed file | You see each cut in context before it happens |
| Editing | Out of scope | Transcript editing — cut the audio by deleting text |
| Music | Out of scope | Generated per episode, ducks itself under the voice |
| Licence | Not applicable | Commercial licence and a per-export licence record (Plus/Max) |
| Export | A cleaned file | Platform loudness presets, stems, captions, chapters |
Automatic cleanup fails quietly
The risk with any one-shot cleaner is the cut you never hear about: a clipped word, a beat of comic timing flattened, a breath that carried meaning. You find out from a listener, weeks later, and the original is long gone.
Cast shows the work. Every filler is listed and counted per speaker, every pause over your threshold is marked, and the strength of the voice cleanup is a dial with Off included. The original audio is never overwritten, so any cut can be restored — even after you export.
- Every cut listed before it happens
- Cleanup strength is a dial
- Original never overwritten
- Restore any cut, even post-export
And then there is everything after the cleanup
A clean recording is not an episode. It still needs the long tangent cut, an intro and outro, music under the cold open that does not bury the voice, chapters, captions and a file at the loudness the platform expects. Cast does that in the same session: generate the music for this episode, let it duck itself, pick Spotify or Apple, export once.
FAQ
01How does Cast remove filler words?
The Voice Editor finds them for you and lists them. Hesitations — "um", "uh", "mm" — are flagged by default and you can cut them all in one click. Discourse markers like "like" and "so" are detected too, but stay off until you switch them on word by word.
Read more →02Can I undo an automatic cleanup?
Yes. Undo and redo work as normal, and separately, every cut and mute is listed under Recent edits with its own Restore. Because Cast never overwrites your recording, you can put back one filler word you removed twenty edits ago without losing anything you did since.
Read more →03Is the music licensed for commercial use?
Yes — music you generate in Cast comes with a commercial license on Plus and Max, and every export made on those plans carries its own license record. Free music is only free until a platform, a client or a rights holder asks where it came from; here you have the answer on file. (Free and Lite have no commercial license, and music you upload yourself is yours to clear.)
