In iZotope RX, I usually evaluate and repair all audio by hand. But I was recently enlightened that the Repair Assistant functionality in RX is very helpful to him and many others.
Repair Assistant evaluates your audio and suggests specific fixes depending on what is wrong with your particular audio file including things like mouth-clicks, clipping, clicks, hum, noise, etc. Then it gives you 3 differently processed samples to listen to and choose from. If one of them sound good, you just click render and your track sounds great.
So just now I tried it quickly and I agree that it can be handy for many users to help them evaluate their audio and get suggestions for various fixes.
Have you tried Repair Assistant?

I put this in the same category as Auphonic. Something to run through if time is tight or you’re not to sure where to start!
Generally, it won’t do any harm, but it isn’t as good as selecting an issue to deal with and the appropriate tool used.
