AI Tool Profile
Auphonic
Auphonic is a web service for automatic audio post-production that reduces noise and reverb, levels speakers and sets loudness. The free tier covers 2 hours of audio per month.
Description of Auphonic
Auphonic GmbH runs a web service it calls an automatic audio post-production webservice. It processes recordings for podcasts, audiobooks and broadcast. Core functions are noise and reverb reduction, an intelligent leveler that balances speakers, music and speech, and loudness targeting against standards, including target loudness and true peak limits.
It also offers filtering such as de-essing, de-plosive and clipping repair, automatic cutting of silences, coughs and filler words in several languages, and multitrack processing with ducking and mic-bleed removal. Speech-to-text adds shownotes and chapters, and video, subtitle and audiogram output are listed.
Beyond the browser, the site lists an API, a command line interface and watch folders, with a white-label API for custom needs. Publishing connections include YouTube, Libsyn, PodBean, SoundCloud, Facebook, RSS.com and Acast, and automation runs through Zapier and n8n.
Billing is by processed audio duration, with a three-minute minimum per production. Free credits give 2 hours per month, do not carry over, and add an Auphonic jingle to free productions. Recurring plans start with S at 9 hours per month, listed in the page source at $13 per month on monthly billing, with yearly billing saving 20 percent. One-time credit packs never expire. Prices exclude VAT, and the site can switch between euros and dollars. The page we read does not state data location or any certifications, so ask if you need them.
