I like your idea, makes sense.
My biggest fear is that without login, people will start abusing it in ways that I don't expect. Definitely considering it. Thanks you!

That's a good fear to have. That's the kind of thing I would set up some monitoring for and then wait to see. You might get a few jerks. But those same jerks might also be the sort of people who would sign up with a bunch of fake emails, so gating on an email address may not be much better than gating on a fresh-issued cookie.
Thanks for listening, and good luck with your project!
Is it possible for you to do a live, personal demo? No logins or anything. I'm thinking something where you tell people to start up their audio and then give them a quick prompt like "Describe your breakfast yesterday." Record for 30 seconds, and then let them play back the original and cleaned versions. You could limit them to, say, 5 goes, with a different prompt each time.
I suggest it because a) a little personal investment makes it more likely they'll give you their email address for signing up, and b) many potential customers underestimate how much they need something like this.
