Great bit of software... fantastic for quick audio editing and synching with Camtasia
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I primarily use Audiate to cut out all the 'ams, er, ahh' sounds from my deliveries. It performs this well and reduces my editing time by hours. It only takes a minute or 2 for it to identify all the unwanted words in my recording and provides you the option to remove them. Found this to be the most useful part of the tool. It does also offer many voiceovers that can be used instead of your own voice but as I talk generally at a slow pace, I feel that the AI exaggerates this when applying a voiceover.
Pros
- Identifies 'em, ahs, am' phrases
- Provides ability to edit very quickly
- Automated edits/cuts and synchs to Camtasia with ease
Cons
- More options around effects and properties
- More options for editing
- Ability to change a word and use your own voice
Return on Investment
- Reduces editing by hours
- Reductions in editing time saves $100s in cost
- Improves overall productivity as more time can be spent on video visualisations and improvements
