Does Riverside transcribe filler words like "um" "ah" and "eh"?

Yes, Riverside automatically transcribes filler words. You can easily remove them using the Remove filler words feature. Filler words you remove are shown in gray with a strikethrough. 

Some filler words may not be recognized by the system as such. In these cases, they appear in the transcript as a filler-word-squiggle.svg squiggle, which is used to represent an audio disfluency picked up by the microphone.
