Show HN: Vocal Slice – Cut audio by selecting text, fully on-device

https://vocalslice.com/
10•terranivium•6d ago
I make audio tools, and this one came out of the clip-pulling loop: scrub to find the right line, set the in point, set the out point, name the file, repeat.

Vocal Slice transcribes your audio, then you can simply highlight the passage you want and the waveform jumps to exactly that span. Fine-tune with the handles, export a named clip.

Windows and macOS.

Thank you for the amazing support so far, a few of you have reached out via email to share use cases I hadn't thought of. This tool was originally conceived around long voice acting recording sessions which were a pain to sift through, but the privacy aspect has implications in legal and NDA scenarios too.

It is nice, practical tool—especially for voice recordings and privacy-sensitive audio. If you ever need help with AI integrations or product backend work, feel free to reach out:kavita@mail.brainspack.co

so it's for selecting cuts that make it into a video for example?

Why is a license annual instead of ome time only? Do you plan on adding additional features on the future that would bloat this project?
