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
