Shorten word gaps is inaccurate

Joie Rose Aquisap

The shorten word gaps feature got bad after the update. Grays out parts that speaker was actually talking and includes those in the cuts which makes the whole thing useless. I can't use it to wipe all the word gaps like before. Can you please fix it?

Made a ticket but glad this one is larger. I had my hosts laugh for 3+ seconds on multiple occasions but AI said "No words being spoken? Must be unimportant. CUT IT."

it's been some days that the shorten word gaps feature is completely messed up... it finds 49 silences when there are just 5... it highlights as silence entire segments of 20 seconds of pure talking for example...

that feature, at least in italian, was always very buggy because it was always cutting 1 seconds before or after the silence but at least I could go and manually fix it... now it's completely messed up

Totally agree, logged in to raise a ticket. It's far too keen and it's clipping the end of the last work and the beginning of the next. I'm having to manually select each one. Very unhappy about that.

Ideally there should be a way to shorten gaps of "silence" instead. Set a decibel level and only shorten sections where the decibel level is lower than the set value. I stopped using it since it doesn't consider laughter as words.

I agree. I just made a comment about it on a new feedback chain before I saw this post.

Could not agree more. This has become the most frustrating part of the software and sadly one that if fixed would save hours a week.
