Your software is such a great idea. The UI could use some work to be more attractive, but the core functionality is top notch.

Here's a suggestion- using Speech.framework[0] you could probably quite easily transcribe the audio and identify filler words ("umm", "hmm", etc) and add an option to automatically exclude those as well.

Thanks! I like the Speech framework idea. I've toyed with it a bit and the results not so great, especially offline, and the online one has some limits. I think if I want to properly add transcription I'll need to integrate with some SaaS solution, but I need to do a little more experimenting first.

Do you have any specific suggestions or critiques for the UI? I definitely agree it could be more attractive but I've had trouble figuring out what to do besides "make it look like Final Cut" or whatever. (or maybe I should actually do just that!)
