In simple English
This program edits spoken audio and video by letting you work with the text. It turns your recording into written words automatically. You delete a sentence in the text, and the app cuts that part out of the audio. You do not need to send your files to the cloud. Everything stays on your computer for free.
What it is
Audapolis is a desktop application for editing spoken-word media through an integrated text transcript. It combines speech-to-text models with a timeline editor to make podcast and interview trimming as simple as editing a document.
