The verdictA transcription service with a transcript based editor that lets you cut audio by deleting text, similar in spirit to Descript.
Free tierNo free tier listed. A trial may be available.
Best forEditors who think in words rather than waveforms and want to trim interviews by deleting lines of text.
Not the best fitAnyone doing detailed sound design or precise waveform level edits, Sonix's editing granularity is text based.
The gotchaTranscript accuracy varies with accents and crosstalk, so heavily overlapping conversations need manual correction before editing gets clean.
