Who is it for?

It is mostly useful to these profiles: researchers and students. The need it covers is simple to state: clean, edit and produce audio.

Snipd is a good candidate if:

• you want to try before paying
• you also work from your phone

The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.
