Podcast Editor

• A podcast editor built around your transcript

  Upload an episode and EchoWave transcribes it with word-level timestamps. Highlight a rambling answer in the text and delete it, and the matching audio disappears from the timeline. The same transcript exports as SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON through the podcast transcript generator, so your show notes start from the file you already cleaned up.

• Filler words and dead air, gone in one pass

  EchoWave finds every um, uh, repeat and long pause in the transcript and cuts them all at once. This is editorial cutting, so the recording itself is never reprocessed and your captured quality stays exactly as it was. See remove filler words for how the detection works on real speech.

• A multi-track timeline for music beds and ad spots

  Keep your voice on one track, the intro theme on a second, sponsor reads on a third. Clips snap magnetically so nothing overlaps by accident, and you can trim a music bed to the exact second the talking starts. Swapping a sponsor later means replacing one clip, not re-editing the episode.

• Audiograms that make audio postable

  Pick one of 93 waveform, spectrum and bar visualizer styles, drop your cover art behind it, and export a clip. Vertical 9:16 works for Reels and Shorts, square for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube. A 40 second quote with a moving waveform gets far more taps than a static image.

• Karaoke captions from the transcript you already edited

  176 caption presets include word-by-word karaoke styles with active-word fill. Because the captions come from the same transcript you cut, they match the final audio exactly, with no re-syncing. Subtitles translate into 86 languages if your audience listens in more than one.

• Record solo episodes right in the browser

  The podcast recorder captures your mic, webcam or screen, with a built-in teleprompter for scripted intros. For remote interviews, EchoWave does not do multi-guest remote recording, so record those in your usual tool and upload the files here to edit.

• Export MP3 for your feed, MP4 for YouTube

  One project exports both. HD MP4 video is free with a small removable EchoWave watermark badge, and paid plans remove the badge and raise quality to 4K on Pro and 8K on Business. Audio-only files are a paid feature: MP3 and M4A come with the Basic plan, WAV and FLAC with Pro. Everything renders on a cloud farm, so a ten year old laptop exports as fast as a new one. For quick trims on a single file, the audio editor covers small jobs.

• Echo, an AI assistant for the busywork

  Type "cut everything before the first question" or "caption this in a karaoke style" and Echo, the assistant built into the editor, does it with its 39 editing tools. It saves a checkpoint before big changes, so one click reverts anything you do not like.

1. 1

   Upload your recording

   Drag in MP3, WAV or M4A audio, or a video file like MP4 or MOV if you filmed the session. Nothing to install; EchoWave runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on any Mac, Windows, Linux or Chromebook machine.

2. 2

   Tighten the talk in the transcript

   EchoWave transcribes the episode automatically. Delete tangents and weak answers as text, then run filler and silence removal to clear the ums, repeats and dead air in a single pass.

3. 3

   Add music beds, intros and ad spots

   Layer your theme and sponsor reads on separate tracks; the magnetic timeline keeps everything butted up cleanly. Bring your own music files, and pull stings and whooshes from the built-in panel of 30 sound effect packs.

4. 4

   Export audio, video, or both

   Add an audiogram or karaoke captions and export an HD MP4 free with a small removable watermark badge, or send MP3 or M4A to your podcast host on a paid plan. Paid plans also remove the badge and raise video quality up to 4K.

• Interview episodes

  Cut crosstalk, tangents and the awkward tech check at the start by deleting them in the transcript. A 70 minute conversation becomes a tight 45 without touching a waveform.

• Solo shows and narrated essays

  Script it on the teleprompter, record in the browser, then strip every stumble in one pass. Filler removal matters most when a single voice carries the whole episode.

• Promo clips and audiograms

  Pull the strongest 40 seconds, add a visualizer and karaoke captions, and export vertical for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Each clip points new listeners back to the full feed.

• Full episodes on YouTube

  A growing share of podcast listening happens on YouTube. Export the whole episode as MP4 with burned-in captions so it still works with the sound off.

• Sponsor reads and mid-rolls

  Keep ads on their own track so a mid-roll lands at an exact timestamp. When a campaign ends, replace one clip and re-export instead of rebuilding the edit.

• Reviving the back catalog

  Re-cut an old episode into a teaser, add modern captions, or record a fresh intro with the voice recorder and splice it in. Old audio earns new listens with an afternoon of work.
