Let me remove "filler" words like "um" only in the captions without auto editing the video and audio
Whitney Dafoe
I want to remove "um" from my captions but I have zero interest in jump cuts removing natural speech from my videos. I just don't want the word "um" in the captions. Why can't I do this?
Without features like this, I don't see the worth in Descript.

Edit captions without editing video

I want to be able to edit the captions of my video without editing the video itself. For instance, I would love to remove filler words from the captions without editing the filler words out. It seems I can correct words from the captions, but not deleting them without affecting the video.

You can correct the transcript and replace the filler word with nothing (instead of deleting the word), and it will be removed from the transcript but not the audio!

Auto clean up transcripts for captions and export

I'd love to be able to remove ums and you knows from the transcript automatically for exports and fancy captions even when I'm not removing them from the audio. I'm currently doing that manually on every single one and it's super slow and tedious.

Remove fiiller words - Subtitles only

Would be handy to have "clean" subtitles without forcing remove from audio/video.

Do you use Notepad++? I realize using a work around isn't ideal, but until there's a native solution in Descript you can open your transcript in Notepad++, do a search and replace to replace all the Ums in the doc at once with nothing (leave the replace with box blank), another to search and replace all the "you know"s, and save it which will leave it as srt instead of creating a txt doc.
