Upload a raw talking-head recording, get a finished short back: the pauses and filler words cut out, word-by-word captions burned in. Two things are different. The cut points come from a loudness measurement of your original audio, not from speech-recognition timestamps - those were off by up to 0.9s in testing, which is why some tools clip the end off a word. And rendering runs in your browser via WebCodecs, so for the cut the video never leaves your machine. First three videos free.

Could you build this?

Partial In-browser video editing with precise audio loudness analysis, subtitle burning, and FFmpeg/WebAssembly video stitching requires non-trivial client-side media processing.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm), Web Audio API for audio graph decoding and RMS/LUFS loudness measurement, coupled with a speech-to-text API (e.g., Whisper). The difficult piece is executing accurate frame-level video cutting and WebAssembly-based re-encoding directly in browser memory without running into memory leaks, thread starvation, or browser tab crashes.
