Use tool ↗About Auphonic
Auphonic is a web service that does the mixing and mastering step for podcasts, lectures, audiobooks, radio and video voice tracks. You upload a recording or a multitrack session, pick presets, and its algorithms balance levels between speakers and music, reduce static or changing noise and room reverb, cut filler words, coughs and silence, and normalise to a loudness standard before encoding. Paid accounts add multilingual speech recognition with automatic show notes, chapters and subtitles. Files can arrive from and publish to Dropbox, Google Drive, SFTP, YouTube and podcast hosts, and everything is also reachable through a REST API and CLI. It is run by Auphonic GmbH from Graz, Austria, and has been operating since 2013.

Pros & cons of Auphonic
Auphonic suits podcasters, educators and radio producers who want consistent, broadcast-loud speech audio without learning a compressor or a DAW, and its API makes it a common back end for publishing pipelines. It is a processing service rather than an editor, so people who want to rearrange takes or edit by transcript will still need another tool.
Pros
- Two free hours of processing every month with all core cleanup algorithms
- One-time credits never expire, which suits irregular publishers
- API, CLI, watch folders and integrations with storage and podcast hosts
- Loudness targets for common podcast and broadcast standards built in
Cons
- Free productions carry an Auphonic jingle
- Recurring plan hours do not roll over to the next month
- Speech recognition, automatic chapters and show notes are not available on the free tier
Best for
- Podcasters who want levelled, denoised episodes at a set loudness without manual mixing
- Universities and broadcasters automating processing of many recordings via watch folders or the API
- Creators with multitrack interviews that need speakers balanced against each other
Not for
- People who need a timeline or transcript editor to cut and rearrange content
- Users wanting speech recognition and show notes for free, since those are paid-only
Watch out: Re-running a production is free only with the same input files; changing a file or starting a new production is billed again, with a 3-minute minimum per production.
