Best Artificial Intelligence software

Studio Sound is an AI audio enhancement feature built into Descript, the text based video and podcast editor. Unlike subtractive noise reducers, Studio Sound is regenerative: it isolates and analyzes a speaker's voice, then rebuilds it while reducing background noise, echo, room reverb and mic quality inconsistencies, aiming for a cleaner result than tools that simply subtract everything but speech. It applies to an entire audio track with an adjustable intensity slider, and only works on real recorded voice, not AI generated speech.

Studio Sound is included across Descript's plans, from a limited free tier to paid Hobbyist, Creator, Business and Enterprise subscriptions that also unlock more transcription hours, higher resolution export, additional AI tools and team collaboration features. It is best suited to podcasters, video creators and teams who need fast, professional sounding dialogue without separate audio editing software.

LALAL.AI is an AI powered stem splitting and vocal removal service that separates any audio or video track into vocals, instrumentals and individual instruments such as drums, bass, guitar, piano and strings. Built on its Andromeda separation engine, it also includes a Voice Cleaner for removing background noise like fans or sirens and an Echo and Reverb Remover for cleaning up hollow sounding vocal recordings. The service is available through a web app, desktop apps for Windows and macOS, and mobile apps.

LALAL.AI runs on a subscription model rather than a flat monthly fee, with a free Starter tier and paid Lite and Pro plans that grant a set number of priority processing minutes plus unlimited slower queue processing. Pro subscribers also get access to a VST plugin and API for integrating separation directly into other software. It suits musicians, podcast editors and video creators who need quick, high quality source separation.

Cleanvoice is an AI podcast and video editing service that automatically removes filler words such as um and uh, mouth sounds, stutters, and dead silence from recordings. It also reduces background noise, normalizes loudness and can process multiple synced tracks at once, supporting mp3, wav and flac files with no fixed audio length limit. Sensitivity for filler word detection is adjustable so users can control how aggressively the tool edits their audio.

Cleanvoice offers a free trial covering 30 minutes of processing with no credit card required, then either pay as you go credit packs or monthly and yearly subscriptions priced by hours of audio processed per month. All paid plans include filler word, noise and silence removal, transcription and summary generation, and a custom plan is available for teams processing 200 or more hours a month.

Resemble Enhance is an open source AI model for speech denoising and enhancement, built from two components: a denoiser that separates speech from noisy audio, and an enhancer that restores audio distortions and extends bandwidth for a clearer, higher fidelity result. It is trained on high quality 44.1kHz speech data and is freely available on GitHub and Hugging Face, where anyone can run it locally, fine tune it, or try it through a hosted demo space.

The same capability is also offered as a hosted Audio Enhancement API on the commercial Resemble AI platform, which applies noise removal, loudness normalization and studio processing to any audio file through a single API call, with toggleable options and support for WAV, MP3, M4A, MP4, OGG, AAC and FLAC files. Resemble AI's Flex plan bills usage per second of processed audio, while Enterprise customers get custom pricing, volume discounts and on premises deployment.

Supertone Clear is an AI powered audio plugin from South Korean company Supertone that separates a recording into three components: voice, ambience and voice reverb. Three simple knobs let editors dial in how much of each channel to keep, making it possible to isolate clean dialogue, remove room noise and reduce reverb with minimal artifacts. It runs in real time inside any DAW that supports AU, VST3, VST or AAX plugins, on Windows 10 and later or macOS 10.13 and later with native Apple Silicon support.

Clear is sold as a one time purchase plugin rather than a subscription, with a regular price around $99 that Supertone frequently discounts through promotions. A free trial is available with limitations, including periodic noise bursts and no profile saving. It is aimed at post production engineers, video editors, streamers and musicians who need fast, clean dialogue separation without re-recording.

AudioStrip is a UK based online tool that uses AI to separate the vocal and instrumental tracks of a song. Users upload an audio file or paste a link and the service produces isolated vocal and instrumental stems, plus tools for noise removal from speech, AI mastering, and key and BPM detection. The company has partnered with Queen Mary University of London's audio research group and received Innovate UK funding.

The free plan allows 3 isolations, 3 masters, and 3 enhancements per month in MP3 format, with a 50MB upload limit and an 8 minute song duration cap. The Premium plan, priced at £5.99 per month (discounted from £7.99), unlocks unlimited processing, over 10x faster speeds, WAV and FLAC output, larger files, batch uploads, and automatic email delivery of results.

VEED's Clean Audio, also called Remove Background Noise, is an AI feature inside the VEED.IO online video and audio editor, a company headquartered in London. It automatically detects and strips out wind, traffic, AC hum, static, and other background sounds while preserving speech, using AI and Dolby powered processing, with no manual equalizer adjustments needed. The tool works on standalone audio files as well as videos that contain an audio track.

Clean Audio is bundled inside VEED's broader editing platform rather than sold as a standalone product. It is free to try, but continued use requires a paid VEED plan. VEED offers a free plan with watermarked, limited exports, a mid tier plan around $19 per editor per month, and a Pro plan around $49 per editor per month that unlocks unlimited Clean Audio use alongside 15 or more other AI tools.

Kapwing Clean Audio is an AI powered noise removal feature built into Kapwing, a browser based video and audio editing platform headquartered in San Francisco. It automatically reduces background noise such as echo, hiss, barking dogs, keyboard clicks, and room echo from uploaded audio or video, producing a cleaner track in under a minute with no separate plugin needed. The tool sits inside Kapwing's Audio Editor and Audio Enhancer suite alongside volume leveling, vocal and background splitting, and batch processing.

Clean Audio can be used for free on a limited basis, but unlimited, watermark free processing requires a paid Kapwing plan. The Pro plan, at $24 per month billed monthly or $16 per month billed annually, includes up to 500 minutes of Clean Audio per month, while the Business plan raises that to 2,000 minutes per month. Kapwing also offers a free plan and custom Enterprise pricing.

Magic Audio is an AI powered audio enhancement feature built into Riverside, a Tel Aviv based platform for recording and editing podcasts and video interviews. With one click, Magic Audio reduces background noise, removes reverb and echo, balances volume levels, and adjusts EQ, aiming to produce studio quality sound from recordings made in imperfect environments such as home offices, using models trained on large sets of professionally recorded audio.

Magic Audio is bundled into Riverside's paid plans rather than sold separately. The Pro plan starts at $29 per month billed monthly, or $24 per month billed annually, and includes Magic Audio along with 4K recording, up to 15 hours of separate track downloads, a teleprompter, and unlimited transcription. Riverside also offers a limited free plan and higher Grow, Webinar, and custom Business tiers.

CrumplePop is a suite of AI powered audio repair plugins now owned and distributed by Boris FX. Individual tools such as AudioDenoise, WindRemover, PopRemover, RustleRemover, TrafficRemover, ClipRemover, EchoRemover, and Levelmatic target specific problems including background noise, wind, plosives, fabric rustle, traffic, clipping, and echo. The plugins install as VST3, AAX, and AU formats inside editors such as Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Audition, Logic, GarageBand, and Avid Media Composer, on both Mac and Windows.

CrumplePop offers a 15 day unlimited free trial with no credit card required. Beyond the trial it is sold through both a subscription and a perpetual license via the Boris FX store, though the public product pages did not display exact current dollar figures at the time of this research, so specific prices could not be independently confirmed.
