Questions
More comparisons
Is Shhh free?
Yes. A free account cleans 1 hour of audio a month, in files up to 30 minutes. Without an account you can clean the first 30 seconds of any file to hear the result.
Will Shhh change how my voice sounds?
You decide. Up to 50% strength your own voice is kept and only the noise is turned down. Above 50% the voice is rebuilt for a studio sound. If it starts to sound robotic, pull the slider back.
Can I clean the audio of a video?
Yes, on every plan. Drop an MP4 or MOV. Your browser takes the audio out, Shhh cleans it, and the clean audio is put back into the same video. The picture is copied as it is, never re-encoded.
Does Shhh have an API?
Not yet. An API and an MCP server are in preparation. Today Shhh works in the browser: upload a file, or record from your microphone.
What happens to my files?
They are used only to process them for you, never to train models, and they are deleted after 7 days.
