In this tutorial, I walk you through how to remove filler words automatically with Descript, step-by-step. Once you’re on your Descript dashboard, I show the exact workflow I use: drag and drop your audio/video file to import it, then simply prompt Descript with something like “remove filler words” and hit Get Started. Descript will upload your file, do its standard processing (like preparing the project and audio leveling), and then transcribe everything—because Descript is a text-based editor. After transcription, you’ll actually see the filler words and repeats in the script. I demo the before-and-after playback so you can hear the difference right away (like removing that little “uh” at the start). I also point out an important detail: filler words and repetitions aren’t always the same thing. If you still see repeated words (like “is is” or duplicated phrases), you can run another pass by asking Descript to “remove repetitions.” My main takeaway: this is a fast way to clean up podcasts, YouTube videos, and voiceovers, but like any AI tool, you may still want to fine-tune with better prompting depending on your audio.
