An editor, not just a cleanup pass
A real editor, not just a pass
Gling runs an auto-cleanup pass and hands you a cut file. REQO is a full timeline: record, trim, cut, reorder, add music and captions, then export, all in one browser tab.
Clean up by transcript, free
Delete filler words, bad takes and dead air by highlighting them in the auto-generated transcript. The footage follows your edit. Manual cleanup like this is free on REQO.
Auto silence + filler on Pro
Want the one-click version that detects and cuts silences and filler for you? That is REQO Pro at $19/mo, alongside watermark-free exports and AI Studio.
Nothing to install
REQO runs in the browser. Record, edit, caption and share from the same tab, on any machine, no desktop app.
REQO Free, REQO Pro and Gling
To be clear: Gling is purpose-built for one-click automatic cleanup, and it is good at it. REQO only matches that automatic pass on the Pro plan. What REQO adds is a full editor around it, with free transcript editing for people who would rather clean up by hand.
