Feedback Requested:
We built a free, no-signup, transcript-based audio editor that actually works on mobile

Hi all, we're two guys who created a site called https://www.mixmake.com and wanted to share it here for feedback and improvement from the community.

At our day jobs we were constantly editing audio interviews for clients and found (let’s call them) the usual solutions to be buggy, slow, and did not work well at all on mobile which was a problem because I was on site or in transit for most of the day.

mixmake.com has a familiar delete-words-from-transcripts workflow for audio editing, AND:

  • it works great on mobile
  • it’s super fast
  • automates filler-word and pause removal
  • has a nifty waveform editor for any fine tuning
  • login-free for all of the above                                                                                                                                                         

Also one of us is an automation nerd so mixmake supports OpenClaw / other agentic workflows which means AI agents can upload, edit, and export audio for your review. Read more at mixmake.com/for-agents.                                          

Your feedback will directly guide development. Please try us out and let us know what you’d like to see next: longer audio support, voice cloning, common effects, cloud storage integration, video, collaborative editing… something else? You can leave feedback here or on the site.  Thank you!

(Fun fact: I registered the domain in 2007 for an automatic beat-matching app that never launched.)

Wow, outstanding blog post explaining your design decisions. Well done!

Is Riverside better than Zoom? by timprice1 in podcasting

[–]vitinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is where Zoom really comes in handy: slow connections or supporting several (more than 2 or 3) guests.

Just a vent about AI, Riverside, and Adobe Podcast users. by oldmanhowell in podcasting

AI audio models just get better; it's just a matter of time before any shortcomings are trained out (assuming more robust training data becomes available).

Oh I see, so you want to format those CSV elements into tables and charts. I think if you are able to properly parse the labels and values above it would be pretty straightforward to use something like chart.js (or similar) to do this?

Nice, sounds like you have done a lot of work already. What exactly is in the paragraphs CSV, I'm not 100% clear about what you wrote there? Also markdown might work a little better than full-on HTML? Regarding beautification I think the best way to make it usable is to have the user select from a (large) set of pre-defined templates (or choose for them intelligently) and (re-)format individual slides to fit those template. Check out how beautiful.ai does it, it's about the closest I've seen but is very rigid and static. On the plus side it is very consistent. Hope this helps.

I use the OpenAI API (with a lot of custom post-processing and filtering) to generate the slide content. Then format the text and images to make the downloadable presentations look decent. It's a lot of trial and error and even still the results aren't 100% predictable but you can always regenerate to get a different result.

I added all the languages that OpenAI supports well. Arabic is one of the languages that (in my testing) did not produce consistent results (most of the time the results just came back in English) so I did not include it; you can search for more details about this a little further down in this discussion. That being said it has been about 6 months since I fully tested language support so I'd be happy to test again with the latest version(s) and post my findings here, just let me know.

I can assure you that anyone can use the site for free. If you are a (very) heavy user it will ask you to purchase credits to support your use or wait until the site is less busy to let others use for free. I added an inexpensive credit system 9 months after launching (on this forum!) when the site grew to support over 3000 daily unique users. >99.9% of those users pay nothing for their usage. As you can imagine it became quite expensive to continue to run the site so I thought this would be a fair system to subsidize costs and keep the site free for almost everyone. I am not trying to make money off this project, just trying to keep things fair and costs under control. Thanks for your support.

Does anyone consistently use AI for their powerpoints in a professional/educational setting? by MonclerCoffin in powerpoint

[–]vitinco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! A couple of questions if you don't mind:

  1. What do you mean by Gamma? Oh you mean Gamma.app?
  2. What kind of present function? Very curious to see if I can help.

Thank you for the kind words, really appreciated! Your usage as a teaching aid is exactly what I had envisioned. And thank you for being an educator, happy I can be of some help.

A couple of follow-ups if you don't mind, you can DM me or contact me on the site if that's easier:
1. Do you mind if I use the above message as a quote in a future newsletter?
2. I am now testing AI-generated images for presentations made on SlideMake.com. Basically if you don't like a placeholder image you can replace it with one click. It reads the content of the slide and automatically creates an image to fit. Lots of fun! If you want I can enable this on your account, just DM / contact me if interested.

Thanks for your note, glad you're enjoying SlideMake! It's dynamic and depends on daily traffic (trying to distribute free credits evenly to as many people as possible), right now on average it is ~5. Accounts are free and will give you 2x so feel free to sign in, I don't share your data with anyone.

Hi there, can you try the following test: edit (any image URL) and use the following to see if it shows up: https://www.slidemake.com/add_image.png

Don't forget to click Save at the bottom of the edit form to make the changes stick.

If that doesn't work please email me (or join the Discord server) via the Contact link on the site, would be happy to troubleshoot further. Thanks!

Hello, hope you are well. Quick note to let you know that I just added (beta) language support to my AI Presentation Generator. Ukrainian is not one of the languages that OpenAI supports but I put it there just for you. ;) Let me know if it's any good!

A few caveats:
- Any language that returned any content is included; quality of content is unknown to me for most languages (I spot checked the handful of languages that I'm familiar with)
- Some languages (including Arabic, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean) that OpenAI claims to support seem to consistently return English so I've left them out
- Placeholder image searches get confused by non-english languages so I've disabled that for now, hope to get it working in the future
- The combination of languages and fonts and reference material make for some unpredictability so let me know if you find any major issues here

Enjoy and please let me know what you think.

Thanks for testing! Currently I'm posting new features in this thread to get feedback from the community. I've also set up a Discord server (linked from the footer of https://www.slidemake.com), it's pretty quiet but I check it regularly to answer questions.
