What Descript is
Descript is an audio and video editor where you edit by editing the transcript — cut a sentence from the text and it's cut from the media. It bundles AI tools like filler-word removal, studio sound, eye contact correction, and voice cloning. It's the fastest way for a non-editor to deliver professional podcast and video post-production.
Key features
- Text-based editing — delete words in the transcript to cut the media
- AI filler-word removal, studio sound, and eye contact correction
- Overdub voice cloning for fixing flubbed lines without re-recording
- Automatic clip creation and social-ready templates for repurposing
- Screen recording plus remote recording built in
- Accurate transcription with speaker labels in 20+ languages
