📈 Tips for better results

Put your microphone close to your mouth when you record. This makes the silence detection much more accurate. Try to stay consistent with your room sound. If your background noise changes, the detection might catch false silences. Always preview a short clip before you process a long recording. This ensures your settings match your specific audio levels.
