Saturalabs / Specific distractions

Remove keyboard noise. Keep the explanation.

Try reducing typing clicks in a recorded tutorial, voiceover, or meeting. Choose whether to separate the keyboard itself or bring the speaking voice forward, then check the words that overlap each click.

A focused approach

Typing clicks and speech can share sharp attacks

Keyboard noise is often a series of short transients rather than a steady hum. A generic background-noise request may not describe it well. Start with ‘The keyboard typing clicks’ and keep Background audio for the remainder, especially when you want to preserve speech plus other useful scene sound.

For a tutorial where only the spoken explanation matters, try ‘The main person speaking’ and keep Isolated sound instead. Compare the two approaches around consonants and clicks. A result with fewer sharp sounds can still be worse if it removes parts of the speaker's words.

From mix to source

How to remove keyboard noise

  1. Upload the recorded session

    Use MP3, WAV, MP4, or MOV up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB). For a long tutorial, export the section that needs work rather than repeatedly processing an entire session.

  2. Describe the keyboard sound

    Try ‘The keyboard typing clicks.’ For voice-only content, try a separate voice-targeted request. Describe a source already in the recording instead of instructing the tool to repair every distraction.

  3. Check clicks that overlap words

    Keep Background audio after targeting typing. Replay words spoken at the same time as a key press, particularly sharp consonants and quiet endings.

  4. Use the result in your edit

    Download the chosen WAV after review. For a screen recording, align it with the video in your editor, compare sync, and adjust levels before the final export.

Made for a real next step

Put the separated audio to work

Software tutorials

Try reducing typing under a recorded explanation while keeping the words understandable. Decide whether some clicks are useful cues for the viewer.

Recorded meetings

Focus on speech in a recording with nearby typing. Check quieter participants and overlapping voices before selecting an output.

Voiceover corrections

Work on a recorded take that contains occasional key presses. Preserve the original so you can compare the voice's tone and articulation.

Listen before you commit

Three checks worth making

Compare a quiet passage and a busy passage with the original, at a similar listening level.

  • Consonants

    Replay words with sharp attacks. Click reduction should not make the explanation harder to understand.

  • Overlapping key presses

    Clicks during speech are a different test from clicks in silence. Listen to both before deciding that the recording is improved.

  • Useful action cues

    For a tutorial, decide whether removing clicks makes demonstrated actions harder to follow. Some original context may be helpful.

Know the limits

Recorded cleanup does not replace a quieter capture setup

The separated remainder may retain clicks or alter speech that overlaps them. Loud key presses close to the microphone can obscure voice detail. No request guarantees that every click will disappear while every consonant remains untouched.

Saturalabs processes uploaded recordings; it is not a live microphone filter for calls or streams. For future sessions, move the microphone away from the keyboard and closer to the speaker where practical, then check a short recording before the full take.

Before you start

A few useful answers.

For download credits and account options, see pricing.

Can I remove keyboard clicks from recorded audio?

You can try targeting keyboard typing clicks and keeping Background audio. Alternatively, isolate the speaker for a voice-only output. Compare the words that overlap the clicks.

Does this work in real time during a call?

No. Saturalabs separates sound from an uploaded audio or video recording. It is not a live microphone noise filter.

Can I remove mouse clicks too?

You can try naming mouse clicking sounds in a separate request. Different click sources may require different descriptions, and clicks overlapping speech can remain difficult to separate.

Why did some spoken words lose detail?

Clicks and consonants can both have sharp attacks. Separation may affect the wanted voice when those sounds overlap. Compare a voice-targeted output and the original before choosing the result.

Can I clean a screen-recording video?

MP4 and MOV are supported up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB). The output is separated audio; import the chosen WAV into your video editor and align it with the original recording.
