What Cleanvoice does

Cleanvoice, operating under the legal entity Sigmoid Creativity SRL and headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, is an AI-native audio and video editing platform founded in 2021 that automates podcast and voice post-production. Its proprietary machine learning models, trained on curated studio-recorded datasets rather than customer uploads, automatically remove filler words (across 20+ languages and multiple accents), background noise, dead air, mouth sounds, breaths, stutters, and echo/reverb, while also delivering studio-quality enhancement (loudness normalization to -16 LUFS, EQ, dereverb, level balancing). Beyond audio, the platform generates multilingual transcription (60+ languages), summaries, chapter markers, and show notes, and supports video podcasts, multi-track synchronization, and timeline export to professional editors (Adobe Audition, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Reaper, Audacity).

The product is delivered through three channels: a self-serve web application, a REST API with Python and JavaScript SDKs (used by 30+ brands), and custom enterprise plans for customers processing 200+ hours per month. Pricing is structured as a freemium entry (30 minutes free on sign-up), pay-as-you-go credits at $0.90-$2.20 per hour, monthly or annual subscriptions at $30-$175 per month, and bespoke enterprise pricing starting at $0.20 per hour. The company serves individual podcasters, video content creators, voiceover artists, audiobook producers, media agencies, remote teams, and developer/API integrators, supported by ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, and EU-hosted infrastructure. Complementary free tools (podcast name generator, cleanscore audit, episode title generator, audio trimmer, joiner, volume changer, mic test, audiogram maker) drive top-of-funnel acquisition via SEO and content marketing.

• Descript: Descript is a direct competitor offering AI-powered audio and video editing for podcasters and creators, with transcript-based editing, filler word removal, studio sound, and overdub features that overlap almost one-for-one with Cleanvoice's core capabilities.

Emerging players

• Trint: Trint is an AI transcription and editing platform for journalists and media teams, overlapping with Cleanvoice's transcription, summary, and content-repurposing capabilities for a more enterprise/journalism customer base.
• Otter.ai: Otter.ai is a leading AI meeting transcription and notes product with adjacent audio intelligence features that overlap with Cleanvoice's transcription and summarization capabilities, but it is anchored in meetings rather than content production.
• Altered: Altered is a voice AI platform that already uses Cleanvoice's API as referenced in select customers, while also offering its own voice cloning and audio manipulation capabilities; it is an adjacent emerging player in AI voice/audio tooling that intersects with Cleanvoice's capability surface.
• Krisp: Krisp provides AI-powered noise removal, echo cancellation and voice clarity for calls and meetings, with overlap to Cleanvoice's background noise and echo/reverb removal features, but focused on real-time enterprise/contact-center use cases rather than content creation.
• Riverside.fm: Riverside is a remote podcast and video recording platform that ships AI-powered editing, transcription and cleanup features aimed at the same podcaster segment, representing an emerging all-in-one competitor to Cleanvoice's editing-focused offering.
• VEED.io: VEED is an AI video editing platform listed as a Cleanvoice customer that integrates Cleanvoice's audio cleanup while also building its own AI audio features; it represents a partly overlapping emerging player in the AI video/audio editing stack.

Broad incumbents

• Adobe Podcast: Adobe Podcast (Enhance Speech) is a broad incumbent offering AI speech enhancement that Cleanvoice explicitly benchmarks itself against; it sits inside Adobe's ecosystem of creative tools and competes for the same creator audience with significantly greater resources and distribution.
