Strip filler words automatically

Dimmy can drop "um", "uh", "basically", "cioè" before paste. Works in 6 languages, independent of the LLM pass.

Filler removal runs between transcription and LLM enhancement. It uses a hand-tuned list of verbal filler words and conservative regex rules: it only removes things it is sure about, never rewrites the meaning.

Supported languages

  • English (um, uh, basically, like, you know, I mean, sort of, kind of)
  • Italian (cioè, tipo, praticamente, ecco, insomma)
  • Spanish (eh, este, o sea, pues)
  • French (euh, ben, du coup, en fait)
  • German (ähm, halt, also, sozusagen)
  • Portuguese (tipo, né, ahn, então)

Turning it on

  1. Open Settings → General.
  2. Toggle Filler removal on.
  3. Save.

Works without the LLM

Even with the LLM pass set to Off, filler removal still runs. Useful when you want clean text without paying for a cloud LLM.

Settings → General → Filler removal toggle
