How to Remove Uhs from Video Recordings

To remove uhs from a video, run the recording through a detection engine that identifies the exact word-level timestamp of each "uh" and trims it out with a smooth crossfade, leaving the surrounding sentence untouched.

Why "Uh" Is Different from Other Filler Words

"Uh" is usually a hesitation sound — it shows up mid-sentence, right before a word the speaker is still deciding on. That makes it trickier to cut cleanly than a filler word at the start of a sentence, because the words on either side are often connected without a natural breath. Cutting too tight clips the next word; cutting too loose leaves a stutter.

How Precision Cutting Solves This

Because word-level precision timestamps every syllable, the cut point lands exactly at the boundary of the sound itself, not somewhere nearby. A short crossfade smooths the join so the two surrounding words connect naturally, instead of sounding abruptly stitched together.

Step-by-Step

1. Record your video without trying to hold back hesitation sounds — that only makes pacing worse
2. Upload the file to your account
3. Choose Medium mode, which is tuned for standard hesitation removal
4. Review the transcript preview, where every "uh" appears with strikethrough
5. Download the finished recording

Where "Uh" Shows Up Most

Live-feeling formats are the worst offenders: unscripted webinars, client Q&A recordings, and one-take listing videos for realtors. If you are also catching "um" in the same recording, the filler word removal pass handles both in a single upload rather than requiring separate cleanup runs.

A Note on Natural Pacing

Removing every hesitation sound in a recording does not make it sound robotic — it makes it sound like someone who already knew what they wanted to say. Light mode keeps a few natural pauses if you want to preserve some conversational feel; Medium and Aggressive lean toward a tighter, more polished result.
