Good to know

• Filler words are not cut out of the recording if they occur while someone is sharing their screen, a presentation, or a media board file.
• Some filler words may not be recognized by the system as such. In these cases, they appear in the transcript as a squiggle, which is used to represent an audio disfluency picked up by the microphone.
• You can apply Remove filler words to all recordings created or uploaded after 10 May 2024.
