Silence energy vs words
TimeBolt is excellent at dead air as a signal. Ums that are as loud as speech are not silence. This tool transcribes, so um is a word and a pause is a gap. You can keep a breath by raising the slider and still drop every um.
When TimeBolt should win
Very long files, batch folders, XML into Premiere. This tab is the wrong machine for that. TimeBolt (and Gling) exist because browsers run out of memory. Respect that.
When you wanted TimeBolt but only had a short clip
A 6-minute lesson does not need a desktop auto-cutter license. Drop it here, preview, save. If you later grow into hour-long episodes, graduate to TimeBolt. Start with the free pass.
