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.
