Eliminate Distractions with AI Background Noise Removal

Camtasia’s AI Background Noise Removal filters out distractions like fans, chatter, and clicks—keeping the focus on your voice.

Background noise is unpredictable—whether it’s a lawn mower outside, a noisy fan, or unexpected interruptions at home. With AI background noise removal in Camtasia, you can isolate your voice and remove distractions without worrying about your recording environment.

Unlike other tools, Camtasia’s AI noise removal effect isn’t permanent—you can adjust it anytime or revert to the original audio if needed.

💡Ways to use AI background noise removal:

Eliminate distractions like fan noise, keyboard clicks, and background chatter from your audio.

Record anywhere without worrying about your surroundings..

Clean up audio after recording–adjust noise reduction levels or turn it off anytime.

Forget the hassle of re-recording due to unexpected noise. Record first, fix the audio later, and let Camtasia keep the focus on your voice.
