"Cannot be automated!!!?!??!" Ooohhhhhh Shame !!! Alexa? Siri? Neural networks?? Everything can (and will....) be automated! I would start with detection of "notes" similar how singing autotune can make people almost sound like they can sing. Where the audio is checked for n length of music .. id it's near the beginning and matches the intro music by n% then they included the intro and if the notes don't match maybe it's some other "music" or "singing" ? Same for outro. 

THE ONLY LIMIT IS YOURSELF!

You make a good point about messing with people's audio.

I imagine a fully automated system that will manage at least 75% of uploads ;)

What if you only had to answer one question?

Choose an option:

1) Let HPR edit your audio:
- remove noise
- detect presence intro
- detect presence outro
- ???

2) do not edit my audio
