Filler Words
Verbal placeholders like "um," "uh," "like," "you know," and "so" that appear in natural speech.
Filler words (also called speech disfluencies or verbal fillers) are sounds or words used to fill pauses in speech. Common examples include "um," "uh," "like," "you know," "so," "basically," and "I mean." While natural in spoken conversation, filler words make written text look unprofessional. AI voice typing tools like Zavi AI automatically detect and remove filler words during transcription, producing clean text that reads as if it were carefully typed.
