5cut: Record & Trim Lectures

Long lectures? Hour-long meetings? 5cut turns recordings into shorter videos and searchable transcripts - on your iPhone or iPad. FOR STUDENTS Record class or import a lecture video. 5cut removes the silence, keeps the words, and gives you a transcript you can study from. FOR MEETING & INTERVIEW NOTE-TAKERS Drop in a meeting recording, voice memo, or interview. 5cut trims the dead air, transcribes the conversation, and separates speakers so you can find the important parts faster. HOW IT WORKS 1. Record in 5cut or import from Photos and Files. 2. Watch the waveform - green is speech, red is silence. 3. Drag the slider or choose a Smart Mode preset. 4. Review the transcript, speaker labels, and subtitles. 5. Export the cleaned video. SMART MODE Three one-tap presets: • Gentle - keeps more, cuts less • Moderate - balanced (recommended) • Aggressive - maximum time saved TRANSCRIPTION OPTIONS Generate searchable transcripts and captions in 30+ languages, depending on the selected engine. Downloaded Whisper, Parakeet, and Qwen models run on the device. Burn subtitles into the video or export SRT/text transcripts. SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION Multiple people in the recording? 5cut identifies up to 4 speakers automatically. Color-coded in the transcript, renamable for your project. EXPORT TO YOUR STUDY TOOLS Send transcripts and notes directly to Apple Notes, Markdown, Anki flashcards, Notion, or Obsidian. BATCH PROCESSING (Premium) A whole semester of lectures or a week of meetings? Queue them all and process with the same settings.
