Should I drop the video or the audio file?
Either works. The check reads the sound of an MP4 video when your browser can open it. For a meeting longer than five minutes, drop Zoom's audio-only M4A: the try sends a file of up to 30 minutes and 25 MB whole, and the sound alone is much smaller than the video.
Can it fix a robotic voice from a bad connection?
Only holes of exact digital silence are filled, up to 100 ms each, by continuing the voice's pitch from each side: “Short holes of lost audio were found, so they are filled from nearby sound.” A robotic or warbling voice has no silent hole, so the gap filler leaves it.
Can it lower people talking in the background?
When the try finds other voices behind the speaker, the result reads: “Other voices seem to sit behind the speaker, so speech cleanup is used.” Switch between Original and Repaired on the same words to hear how far they came down before you keep it.
What about an hour-long meeting?
Microsoft puts a one-hour Teams recording at 400 MB. The check reads five minutes, and the editor imports up to 30 minutes and 1 GB at a time, so split the sound into parts with the audio splitter and import each part with a free account. A video of 30 minutes or less can go straight into the editor, and its export keeps the original picture with the repaired sound as AAC in MP4 or MKV.
Does it reduce echo from the room?
Echo reduction runs only when echo is the one thing found, with no steady noise, music, hum or clipping. Then the result reads: “Room echo seems to blur the speech, so echo reduction is used.” When the recording also has steady noise, the noise cleanup runs and echo reduction does not.
Is the recording uploaded?
Not for the check, which runs in your browser. Pressing Repair the first 20 seconds sends those 20 seconds; when your browser could not open the file, or it runs over five minutes, the file itself goes to Solipsium's server, so the try is offered for it only up to 25 MB. Solipsium keeps only the first 20 seconds and deletes them within an hour. If you are signed in, a file you drop or choose is uploaded to your account and opens in the editor instead. Keep your own originals and upload only media you have permission to process. The privacy notice has the rest.
