[autoencoders]

I tried to use Descript for my podcast, but it has some issues.

1) It doesn't work well if you have a strong accent. As an non-native speaker, the transcription were quite bad, making the editing quite bad.

2) Cleanvoice works with multiple languages, descript doesn't.

3) Cleanvoice can remove stutters (not always, but it tries) and mouth sounds like lip smacking, teeth clicking. Descript can't. This is not a big deal for most, but since I stutter alot this was essential.

My approach is different from Descript. They use a transcription service, and then they edit the audio based on the text. I work directly on the phonetics level. Allowing me to have more control over audio.

Depending on the needs, either one is better. I guess you should try it for yourself and compare.

I will try it thanks! We work with lots of accents and we've found the same with Descript that it fails for example with a strong French accent. Translstion is really key for us also, looking forward to seeing systems trained on more accents.
