Don’t let filler and flubs get past you with Audio Review. Have guests and collaborators help catch stammers, stutters, and flubs in your podcast with our markup and review tool. Having guests is a great way to reach new audiences and expand your base, but there are some challenges. Audio Review is here to help streamline that process. Allow cohosts, staff, friends, or family to flag issues in your podcast to speed up your editing workflow. Simply load up any audio file, play it in our player (which allows for 1x, 0.5x, and 2x speeds), and just press the big "flag" button whenever you catch an issue. Tap one of the presets or type your own custom message. We have presets for common issues like gaps, “um,” "uh," “and,” "like", breaths, stutters, smacks, and sync issues. The app conveniently loops around the flagged audio to allow you to precisely align your flag. Export your list of flags complete with timecodes in plain text which makes it super easy when editing. Import a list of timecodes and flags to review someone else's markup. The audio waveform allows you to easily visualize your place in the file. The playhead can be dragged to scrub quickly through the file. With a paid subscription or full unlock, you can even share access with guests and collaborators so they can mark up a shared file for free. All user data is kept on-device or in iCloud. We do not have any access to your info unless you email us. Privacy data below is entirely for the free Ad-supported option. If you have a paid subscription or full unlock, none of the Ad framework will be loaded and no data will be shared or tracked.

Notetracks is the fastest way to collect feedback on audio and video - with comments pinned to the exact moment, so nothing gets lost in translation. No more "around the 2-minute mark." No more long email threads. Just play, click, and leave a note exactly where it matters. TIMECODED COMMENTS Every comment is pinned to a specific timestamp so your collaborators always know exactly what you're talking about, and you spend less time hunting for the moment they meant. SHARE WITH ANYONE Generate a public link and send it to clients or collaborators with no account required. They leave feedback directly on your track, so you get cleaner notes from people who'd never bother signing up for another tool. FLEXIBLE PERMISSIONS Set links to view-only, comment, or full edit so a client can't accidentally move things around, but a co-producer can. AI TRANSCRIPTION Get an AI-generated transcript of any track with multi-speaker support so you can search, scan, and reference what was said without scrubbing through the whole recording. FOLDERS & ORGANIZATION Group projects into folders and sort by name or date so when you're juggling five clients at once, you can find anything in two taps. --- Free trial included. Subscription required for full access. Monthly and yearly plans available. Terms of Use: https://notetracks.com/terms
