Hi HN,I built a small tool to solve a recurring pain when editing podcasts: scrubbing back and forth just to find where a sentence or idea actually ends.How it works:- Upload an audio file (MP3/WAV/M4A)- AI transcribes the audio and suggests cut points at sentence or paragraph boundaries- Automatically split and export segments, or adjust them manually if neededWebsite: https://transcribeandsplit.com/This came out of my own frustration with editing long recordings and manually hunting for the right cut points. I wanted something that actually understands the content before splitting it.I’d love feedback — especially on edge cases like interviews, lectures, or multi-speaker audio. What features would make this more useful?

Could you build this?

Yes This tool orchestrates existing speech-to-text models (e.g., Whisper with word-level timestamps) and an LLM to find natural breaking points, followed by ffmpeg execution to split the audio.
