## Overview (en)

The speech silence remover cuts silent stretches from a recording and exports the tightened audio as a mono 16 kHz WAV. Audio quieter than -40 dB counts as silence; leading silence and internal pauses of at least 0.5 seconds are cut. Padding from 0 to 1000 milliseconds, 150 by default, keeps some quiet around each cut so speech does not sound clipped.

## Supported tasks (en)

Uses local FFmpeg signal processing. Noise reduction can affect voice quality; silence cuts can shorten pauses. Review the exported mono WAV.

## Questions (en)

### How much silence does the silence remover keep?

The Silence cut padding setting controls how much quiet audio is kept at each cut, from 0 to 1000 milliseconds. The default is 150 ms. Higher padding sounds more natural; zero removes pauses as tightly as the filter allows.

### Will it remove short pauses between words?

Internal silences shorter than 0.5 seconds are left alone, so normal gaps between words and short breaths stay. Only longer quiet passages below -40 dB are cut.

### Can the silence remover process a full podcast episode?

It processes from the start of the file for up to 120 seconds, set by Maximum seconds with a default of 30. Longer recordings need to be split, and each upload can be up to 50 MB.
