"Stutter" Removal

[cirquit]

Hm. Maybe, even if that sounds a little stupid, I could use echo removal tools (which exist, even if imperfect), and get them to treat the repetitions as "echo", which they suppress. As a result, the repeated chunks would contain low-volume noise, close to silence (right?), because the "echo" in my case does not run over another part of the audio. Then, the silenced chunks could be identified with another tool (like gate) and erased automatically.

The stupidity of such approach is that we shoot ducks with bazooka, because my particular problem is much easier and more clear than echo removal, which is a very hard algorithmic challenge.

The "Audio Diff" feature would probably be useful, but it's not even in "alpha" stage yet. How soon do you need this - 1 year... 2 years... now..?
