What is Auphonic?

Auphonic is an AI-powered audio post-production platform that automates mastering and leveling for podcasts, videos, audiobooks, and educational content. Made by Auphonic GmbH, the tool processes audio and video files through machine learning algorithms to achieve broadcast-quality results without manual engineering expertise.

The platform's core features include noise and reverb reduction with options to preserve music, an intelligent leveler that balances levels between speakers and music automatically, filtering with de-esser and de-plosive capabilities, and automatic removal of filler words, coughs, and silence segments across multiple languages. It handles multitrack processing with automatic ducking and mic bleed removal, applies loudness specifications for compliance with broadcast standards (LUFS, true peak limits), and generates multilingual speech-to-text transcripts with automatic chapter markers and show notes. Video support enables creation of enhanced podcasts with chapters and waveform audiograms in multiple output formats.

Workflow automation is central to Auphonic's design. Users can configure watch folders for continuous processing, integrate via Zapier, or use the REST API and command-line interface for custom deployments. The platform publishes directly to YouTube, Libsyn, PodBean, Soundcloud, and Facebook, and supports file transfers through SFTP, Dropbox, and Google Drive. White-label API options allow developers to embed processing into their own applications with custom pricing models.

Auphonic operates on a freemium model with 2 hours of free monthly processing and paid tiers for higher volumes. The platform serves approximately 2 million users including podcasters, educators, video creators, and audiobook producers. Organizations can access speech recognition, advanced algorithms, and automated publishing through subscription plans. Comparable tools include Adobe Audition, Descript, and Riverside.fm, though Auphonic focuses spe
