audapolis

What it does

Transcribes a recording and then lets you cut, reorder and tidy the audio by editing the text - delete a filler word and the corresponding audio goes with it, move a paragraph and the sound follows. That removes the need to work with waveforms, which is the part that stops most people editing podcasts. Everything runs locally with no cloud. Japanese recognition is weaker than English, so test on a short clip first.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
