The cut silences feature helps you tighten the pacing of talking-head shorts by removing dead air and awkward pauses — without timeline surgery.
Keep pauses that add emphasis, remove pauses that feel like waiting, and export when the rhythm sounds right.
- Tighten pacing without timeline surgery
- Optional smart cuts suggestions can help you spot hesitations and pauses
- Refine by listening once, then export when it sounds right
A simple pacing pass
Cut silences the same way you’d do it manually - just faster. The goal isn’t “zero pauses.” It’s rhythm.
Protect the hook
Tighten the first 3–5 seconds first.
Cut obvious dead air
Remove the pauses that don’t add emphasis.
Listen once
Keep natural breathing where it helps the delivery.
Export & post
Ship the tighter version, not the perfect version.
Tip: keep pauses that add emphasis; remove pauses that feel like waiting.
Proof (what to expect)
Cutting silences is one of the fastest ways to make a clip feel more engaging.
More energy
Your delivery feels more intentional.
More watch time
Less waiting between ideas.
More output
A repeatable “pacing pass” you can do every time.
Realistic caveat: if you cut every pause, the clip can sound unnatural. Use this to remove dead air, not to erase your breathing.
FAQ
Will this remove pauses automatically?
SpeechCut is built around control: you decide what stays. Smart cut suggestions can help you spot pauses, then you choose what to cut.
Can I undo a cut?
Yes - words and phrases are toggleable, so it’s easy to bring parts back.
Is SpeechCut for long-form editing?
It’s designed for speech-based talking-head clips and short-form content, not full movies or heavy motion graphics.
What platforms does SpeechCut support?
Android is available now. iOS is planned (waitlist).
Tighten the pacing. Keep the point.
