In their own words
Kiru
Kiru is a video editor for turning local footage into an edit, with transcript-based editing and automatic cuts. It transcribes speech and aligns words with the timeline, so you can edit by working through the text. It can detect false starts, stammers, retakes, filler words, and silences, then remove them automatically. The desktop app supports styled AutoCaptions and.cube LUT files. Exports include MP4, WAV audio, and project files for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro. Kiru runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and has a browser version with limited features. The Free plan is free and includes one hour of video per month and MP4 export. Plus is $15 a month, and Pro is $30 a month; both also have an annual option labeled “Save 33%.” Remote transcription needs an internet connection; editing, detection, and export can happen offline afterward.
