AZ SoundFinder

Beta

A sound library browser with everything you need and nothing you don't.

Search, audition, process and spot into your session. One simple compilation of the features sound editors actually use.

Windows · macOS (in development) · 7-day full trial

Any folder is a library

Point it at a NAS, a shared disk or a local drive and scan once. The whole team searches the same library without re-scanning, and nothing has to be installed on the storage.

Smart search

A built-in thesaurus and the UCS category table widen the search, smart ranking puts the best hits first. Up to ten search tabs. Russian and English queries find each other's metadata.

AZ SoundFinder main window with search results

Find similar

Alt+click any sound, or a region of it, and get the closest matches from the whole library, ranked by match. The matching part of every result is marked on the waveform, ready to drag. It all runs on your own machine.

Similar sounds ranked by match

In-built transcription model

Dialogue libraries are transcribed on your PC by a built-in model. The text sits along the waveform, is searchable, and a click on a line selects it.
