What is Auphonic?
Auphonic is an AI audio post-production service that automatically levels, denoises and masters podcasts, videos and other spoken audio. It has been a podcaster favourite for many years and runs in the browser, with an API and command-line tool for automated workflows. The free plan processes two hours of audio per month.
Auphonic's difference from one-click voice enhancers is that it handles the whole finishing chain. The Intelligent Leveler balances speakers and music, noise and reverb reduction clean the recording, filtering removes hum and rumble, and loudness normalisation hits broadcast and podcast targets. Paid plans add multilingual speech recognition, automatic show notes and chapters, watch folders and batch productions. Because it can publish to hosting services and cloud storage and run from an API, it fits into automated pipelines for radio stations, universities and production companies as well as individual podcasters. Video files and audiograms are supported on every plan.
