Common questions
How do I make a voice recording louder?
Drop it on this page and choose Clean up recording. A quiet recording comes up to a standard loudness, and loud peaks are kept from clipping.
How do I remove long pauses from a recording?
Drop the recording on this page and choose Clean up recording. Every long pause is cut down to a short one, so the gaps go by quickly. Short pauses stay, so speech still sounds natural.
Does it remove background noise?
No. It cuts the deepest rumble, like a truck's drone or the thud of a bumped table. Other background sound stays: voices, music, hiss and keyboard clicks. In a quiet recording, hiss gets louder along with the voices.
What audio formats can I use?
M4A, MP3 and WAV, which covers iPhone Voice Memos and most recorder apps.
How do I speed up a voice recording without changing the pitch?
Check 1.25× before you start. The new file plays a quarter faster, and voices keep their normal pitch.
