Edit talking videos as easily as editing text. VerbaCut creates an editable transcript directly on your iPhone or Apple silicon Mac. Delete unwanted words, filler words, or [--] pause markers, and the matching video clips are cut—without uploading your media. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ EDIT VIDEO THROUGH TEXT Import a video and VerbaCut turns its speech into an editable transcript.

Supported options include Mandarin Chinese, English, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, and German. Mandarin speech uses a dedicated on-device recognition engine. MADE FOR SPOKEN VIDEO VerbaCut is designed for: • Talking-head videos • Interviews • Video podcasts • Tutorials and online courses • Presentations and lectures • Product demonstrations • Vlogs, Reels, and Shorts • Other speech-led footage SUPPORTED VIDEO FILES Import MP4, MOV, and M4V videos.

EXPORTS AND PURCHASES Transcription, text editing, and preview are available without a purchase. Your first successful video export is free. Opening the export screen, canceling, or encountering a failed export does not consume the free export. After the first free export, unlimited exports are available through an auto-renewing monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Eligible purchases can be restored in the app. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Edit the words. Cut the video. Keep your media private.
