## What is Elide?

Cut video and audio by editing the words people say. Elide turns speech into a private, on-device transcript, so removing a sentence from the transcript removes the matching moment from your media.

EDIT WORDS. SHAPE THE CUT.

Import a video or audio file and let Elide transcribe it on your device. Read through the conversation, remove the words you do not want, and preview a tighter cut without hunting through a traditional timeline.

BUILT FOR SPOKEN MEDIA

• Edit video by deleting words from a transcript
• Transcribe speech privately on your device
• Keep source media and transcript data local
• Identify and label speakers
• Remove filler words and unwanted sections
• Split scenes, delete clips, and trim clip edges
• Fine-tune word timing when you need precision
• Undo and redo edits freely
• Edit audio, podcasts, interviews, tutorials, and talking-head video
• Preview your finished cut before export

ONE PURCHASE. FULL APP ACCESS.

Download Elide, then make a one-time in-app purchase to unlock transcription, editing, and unlimited audio and video exports. Purchase is required before editing. There is no recurring charge for the editor. If you already purchased Unlimited Exports in PocketCut, restore that purchase to unlock Elide with the same Apple ID.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your media is copied into private app storage and processed locally. Elide does not upload your video, audio, or transcript to a cloud editing service. On-device transcription models can be downloaded for offline use.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF VIDEO EDITOR

Elide is made for creators who think in sentences instead of timecodes. Use it as a transcript-led video trimmer or audio cutter for interviews, podcasts, explainers, lessons, voice recordings, reels, shorts, and any project where the spoken story drives the edit.
