Filler Words

Where Filler Words Live

Filler words are managed in AI Models -> gear -> Transcription -> Remove Filler Words. They are documented here because they affect dictionary-style cleanup, but the control is in AI Models settings.

Default Filler Words

VoiceInk starts with:

uh, um, uhm, umm, uhh, uhhh, hmm, hm, mmm, mm, mh, ehh

How Cleanup Works

Before formatting and AI enhancement, VoiceInk removes configured filler words from transcription text.

Rules:

• Matching is case-insensitive.
• Only standalone filler words are removed.
• A comma or period directly after the filler word can be removed with it.
• If no filler words are configured, this cleanup is skipped.

Add or Remove Filler Words

1. Open AI Models.
2. Click the gear button.
3. Select Transcription.
4. In Remove Filler Words, click the plus button to add a word.
5. Remove chips you no longer want cleaned.

Notes

Adding common words such as like, right, or okay can remove legitimate content. Add only words you are comfortable losing when they appear as standalone words.
