WordCut
What WordCut is
WordCut is a free browser-based video editor for making cuts through a timestamped transcript. You can delete transcript text, and WordCut removes the matching video segments without requiring a timeline. It can transcribe speech with word-level timestamps through cloud or on-device processing. One-click cleanup removes filler words such as “uh” and “um,” while detected silent gaps and dead air can also be removed from the transcript. Editing and MP4 export happen in the browser, with frame-accurate export listed as a feature. In cloud mode, only extracted audio is sent for transcription; on-device mode keeps processing local, with nothing uploaded. WordCut runs in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox, and supports iPhone recordings, including MOV files opened in Safari on iOS. It accepts MP4, MOV, and WEBM files up to 1.2 GB, requires no installation or account, and adds no watermark. The maker highlights interviews, tutorials, talking-head videos, and podcasts as use cases.
