Clean Transcripts from Any Platform

Not every transcript comes from YouTube, Zoom, or Otter.ai. The Universal Transcript Cleaner handles any platform's export format by applying flexible, configurable cleaning rules you control. If you're working with Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Rev.ai, Descript, Fireflies, Sonix, or a custom recording setup, this is your tool.

Platforms This Tool Works With

  • Microsoft Teams (meeting transcripts with speaker names and timestamps)
  • Google Meet (transcript exports with speaker attribution)
  • Rev.ai and Rev.com transcript exports
  • Descript script exports
  • Fireflies.ai transcript exports
  • Sonix, Temi, Happy Scribe, and other transcription services
  • Any custom format — court transcripts, podcast scripts, interview notes

Find & Replace for Custom Cleaning

Enable the Find & Replace option to set up custom text substitutions. This is useful for fixing recurring auto-transcription errors, replacing abbreviations with full words, or removing any specific phrase or pattern that repeats throughout your transcript.

Remove Specific Names

Unlike the speaker-label removal on other tools, the "Remove Specific Names" option lets you type in a comma-separated list of names (like John Smith, Dr. Patel, Moderator) and removes only those speaker attributions — leaving any other labels intact if you need them.

FAQ

Universal Cleaner Questions

Yes. Enable "Remove Timestamps" and "Remove All Speaker Labels" and paste your Teams transcript. Teams uses a format with speaker name, timestamp, and then the spoken text — all three are handled correctly.
Yes. Uncheck "Remove All Speaker Labels" and instead check "Remove Specific Names." Enter just the names you want removed, separated by commas. All other speaker labels will remain.
Use the Find & Replace feature. For each error pattern, add a rule with the incorrect text in "Find" and the correct text in "Replace With." You can add as many rules as needed for a single clean pass.
Yes, it works well for court transcripts, deposition transcripts, and other formal transcript formats. Use "Remove Specific Names" to keep some labels (like "THE COURT") while removing others, or use Find & Replace for targeted edits.
Yes. Uncheck "Remove All Speaker Labels" and leave it off. Keep "Remove Timestamps" checked. The speaker name labels will be preserved while timestamps and other clutter are removed.
