Edit podcasts as easily as editing a Google Doc with Soundtrap

Byryan June 20, 2019June 13, 2019

Soundtrap, a music-editing software company owned by Spotify, is launching a new product today that’s specifically designed to make podcast editing easier.

Its most impressive feature is how simple it’s supposed to make editing: podcasters can just cut words out of an automated transcript of their conversation, and the changes will be automatically reflected in the audio.
