Auphonic takes a raw podcast or interview recording and applies loudness normalization, noise and reverb reduction, and leveling across speakers, then outputs a finished file with optional chapters and a transcript. It runs in the browser or through an API, and it can pull audio from a Dropbox folder or an RSS feed on a schedule. It suits podcasters who record remotely and do not want to learn a DAW.
Who it is for
Podcasters and remote interviewers who want consistent loudness without a DAW.
Key features
- Loudness normalization to broadcast targets
- Noise and reverb reduction
- Leveling across multiple speakers
- Automatic chapters and transcripts
- API and scheduled folder processing
Where it falls short
It charges by hours of audio processed, so a weekly show burns credit steadily, and it finishes audio rather than editing it, so cuts still happen elsewhere.
Pricing
Free tier gives about two hours a month; paid plans are bundles of processing hours, with API access on higher tiers.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Auphonic.
