It would be great to have stroke around active or filled words and allow for the ability to have a different stroke for a future word. This would be the use case where I am making the future word completely transparent and it would make it so that each word appears as a brand new one in visualization.

I can't tell you have much time your update is adding to my workload!!!

I used to be able to strikethrough all repeated words, then undo a few that were actually necessary and didn’t need strikethrough deletion.

NOW I HAVE TO MANUALLY GO THROUGH EACH REPEATED WORD!!!!

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF DESCRIPT BACK. This is very time-consuming and a hassle to go through hundreds of repeated just to ensure that I keep A FEW repeated words. Especially repetitions that aren’t really repetitions but initials, eg. IPCC, BBC…

Thank you for resolving this as soon as possible. The Strikethrough function used with the repeated words is especially useful. I would even love it if it were available on word gaps, to strikethrough areas that have been reduced via word gaps…that would save a lot of time. Occasionally Descript identifies actual words as word gaps. I’d love to be able to quickly strikethrough word gaps, with the option of undoing/seeing what has been removed in the case of misidentified word gaps.

So I guess we'll see how good this remove with strikethrough function is…but, as you know, sometimes Descript misidentifies repeated words. Eg I, I, I, I, I is identified, but not every “I” is clear. Without a strikethrough option to see where repeated words have been deleted, then it makes restoring those deletions time-consuming and imprecise. What’s worse, it may not be evident that a word has been removed, it may just seem like the sound cut out, and we won’t realize the word can actually be restored.

Please bring back strikethrough for the filler words editing.

I love your "Remove Filler Words" function. I love the few seconds it plays for context around the word for removal.

1) I'd love if you had a "replay"

context button. Right now I click the up arrow, then the down-arrow, and it replays. A single "replay" would be easier.

2) The "Apply to All" button is dangerous. It makes sense that it's available, but it shouldn't be so prominent. I'll never use it. Worse, I'm always afraid I'll accidentally click it. "Like" is sometimes needed, and the occasional "um" must be kept to maintain a human feel to conversation.

3) Please add an "Ignore" button. (Maybe place it where the "Apply to All" button currently lives. Also show a count of ignored items. It'll make it a lot easier to resume editing without manually stepping through 30-50 clips flagged for deletion but I actually want to keep. (Enable to "reset ignore status on all" if I want to start fresh and review everything.)

Love this tool! Stoked to see it improving!!!

I used the Ignore option in Remove Filler Words on every project. Pretty please to put it back in!

I love the "remove filler words" tool, but it would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to "hide filler words" (without removing) so that people can essentially preview the removal before clicking "apply to deleting all filler words."

This would allow people listening to their podcast in Descript to hear the version without filler words, and would be very helpful.

It's an amazing tool, and people using the "filler word removal" tool have the issue that they might have to remove thousands of "ums, well, You know" etc. That's a lot of work, and by omitting them during the preview before "applying to remove all," it lets them listen to a mostly cleaned up version, but gives them the option to leave in one or two "filler words" if they find the tool cuts it in a way that sounds unnatural. They can instead find the obvious edit, unhide the filler words, mark it to "ignore" the one you want to keep (where the word removal is too obvious).

Ideally, after listening through they've managed to remove 1000 filler words by clicking apply to "Remove All Filler" words, and it will ignore the one or two filler words marked to be ignored.

I hope this is easy to implement. It would be a slight but huge improvement to the already awesome tool.

When I "ignore" an instance of a filler word, that instance of the word should be removed from the overall list, so that I can select delete and "apply to all" the rest of the words.

When I remove filler words, I only select "uh" and "um," but all the "okay"s also get removed and then I have to put them all back. Please fix :-)
