Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Audio Isolator tool
This interview was recorded in a noisy coffee shop. Isolate the two speakers and remove the background chatter, music, and kitchen sounds.
Tips
- Isolate first, then run through audio-transcriber for accurate transcription
- Ask Claude to flag any sections where the voice was too buried to recover cleanly
- Works well even when multiple speakers are present -- it isolates all speech
