alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Vocal Slice – Cut audio by selecting text, fully on-device
I make audio tools, and this one came out of the clip-pulling loop: scrub to find the right line, set the in point, set the out point, name the file, repeat.
Vocal Slice transcribes your audio, then you can simply highlight the passage you want and the waveform jumps to exactly that span. Fine-tune with the handles, export a named clip.
Windows and macOS.

If you extended this to allow assembling audio from multiple takes of the same dialogue, you’d have something very useful for audio drama post-production.
Why is an annual license instead of one-time only purchase? Do you plan on adding additional features in the future that would bloat this project or otherwise justify perpetual payment?
Is it open source ? Curious if there is a breakdown on how it works. Looks really cool
Cool idea. But I wonder if the text to speech is 100% accurate when that step takes place
Is it a whisper wrapper? Or does it use custom-trained models?
Thank you for the amazing support so far, a few of you have reached out via email to share use cases I hadn't thought of. This tool was originally conceived around long voice acting recording sessions which were a pain to sift through, but the privacy aspect has implications in legal and NDA scenarios too.
I’d like to understand how this works.
This account was created only 13 days ago.
It has made only one submission, which is this post, and had only two comments before submitting it.
How does this happen?
I have an HN account that is 10 years old, but when I submit something, it often gets flagged almost immediately. So how exactly does HN’s flagging and ranking system work? Does account age or karma matter at all?
For reference:
user: terranivium created: 13 days ago karma: 18 about: vocalslice.com
so it's for selecting cuts that make it into a video for example?

How do GitHub's terms and conditions like using GitHub Releases as storage for proprietary binaries? I noticed the download link points to https://github.com/terranivium/vocal-slice-releases ... and the license there https://github.com/terranivium/vocal-slice-releases/blob/mai... points at a "THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md" file that doesn't exist.
