-
Czyściciel
A Windows app that automatically removes filler sounds like “um” and “uh” from speech recordings and shortens overly long pauses. It detects them locally, on the user’s own computer, with the classla/wav2vecbert2-filledPause AI model (nothing is sent to the cloud). The edited recording sounds natural, the app itself is fully accessible to screen readers, and it can export a ready-made Reaper project.
Technologies: Python, wxPython, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, FFmpeg
-
Bookamp & Bookbar
DSP plugins for listening to audiobooks, podcasts and spoken-word recordings: Bookamp for Winamp, Bookbar for foobar2000. They smoothly change tempo without changing pitch, pitch without changing tempo, and a “tape” mode that moves both at once. They have two time-stretch engines, optional loudness leveling and speech intelligibility enhancement, plus keyboard shortcuts. The interface is bilingual and fully accessible to screen readers. Subject-matter consultation: Patryk Faliszewski.
Technologies: C++, Winamp SDK, foobar2000 SDK, SoundTouch, Bungee
A few words about me
My name is Michał Dziwisz. For years I have been creating media, apps and tools that make everyday use of technology easier. As someone who is blind, digital accessibility matters to me personally, because it decides whether a thing can be used at all. So I would rather build things that are needed and clear than things that merely look impressive.
