I’m a huge fan of Andrew’s and Descript. Descript makes it was easier to edit audio content than traditional audio editors. It’s particularly better for folks making podcasts, or audio guides. I’ll also call out the app’s polish, which makes it even more of a delight to use.

Yeah wow! I was looking for something just like this recently. Audio transcription with export to .srt all in the same app. Keep up the great work!

Maybe this could use something like Lyrebird.ai to create voice transcriptions of added text! Also, would be cool if it could identify voices and tag pieces of text with the speaker! (Just spitballin' here! Great work so far!)

1/ What differentiates this from jotengine.com 2/ How do you moat this business against competition? 3/ How many podcasters out there actually make money that would use this? (technically you can scrape all new podcasts and get their contact info, that seems simple enough, so you can certainly email all of them to sell this to them.....)

Great work guys. I have one question. If you add a word to the text, what happens? Because in the video demo, you are only removing repeated words.
