Allow us to add our own filler words

Christopher Defendorf

One of my co-hosts will often say "and my thing is... or "what I'm saying is..." or "and I'm trying to say..." 
If I could add these I wouldn't have to search for them. Every sentence is different so I might not want to delete all without reviewing. 
But now I search for "my thing is" in a separate pass after removing filler words. THANKS

This would, i hope, also solve the filler words problem for other languages. You could just define your own filler words in your own language.

I love this request, but the program already kinda does this. You can search the transcript to locate words and delete or ignore them individually or in bulk like filler words. It works great no only for elimination but for correcting spelling or transcription errors.

I'm listening to 9 hours lectures, and the teacher says "ACTUALLY" in almost every sentence. And "actual."
Other fillers this teacher uses frequently are:
"actual"
"actually"
"basically"
"to be honest"
"we see that..."
"you can see that..."
"the thing here is that..."
"I can tell you that..."
"as you know..."
All the above can be removed without loss of meaning.
I would love to be able to either edit the filler list,
or let me do a Find/Replace All using my list of multiple fillers.

Having a project or even my account remember which filler words we select from the list would be a HUGE time saver. I barely use any other than um/uh, but there are multiple steps needed to unselect all of the choices and manually reselect the two that I want.

This would be awesome. I am Spanish and this feaute doesn’t work for other language bit english. Maybe we can make a filter or a search field for any word, descript can find all words like “vale” and then, we can delete them. That would be great!

Yes! I trained myself out of most Ums but "Now,..." and "So,..." are still littering my transcript landscape :)

Adding our own "Custom Filler Words" would be awesome. I think it's essential if you're doing interviews with different age groups. 
I often say "and everything" and younger people say stuff like "you know what I'm saying" and older people say stuff like "you dig" so this is definitely needed.
You guys can't possibly think of every scenario so just letting us add our own will solve a huge problem.

Please add this!!!

I'd love to be able to axe both "Again," and "and again" with the filler word filter.

This is badly needed! Would be especially nice to be able to customize different projects with different filler words (like, if we could add filler words to a list and have the project remember which ones we select from the list)
