// FAQ
What types of transcripts can this tool clean?
It works with any copied transcript — YouTube, Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, lecture transcripts, and any text with timestamps and broken formatting. Simply paste and clean.
How is this different from Remove Timestamps?
The Transcript Cleaner combines multiple cleaning steps: timestamp removal, blank line cleanup, short line merging, and speaker label management — all in one tool. Remove Timestamps focuses specifically on timestamp formats.
What does 'merge short lines' do?
Transcripts often break text into short, timestamped fragments. This option merges consecutive short lines into flowing paragraphs, making the transcript much more readable.
Can I preserve speaker labels?
Yes. Enable 'Preserve speaker labels' to keep labels like 'John:' or 'Speaker 1:' intact. Or use 'Remove speaker labels' to strip them entirely.
