Descript
Edit audio and video by editing text with AI
About Descript
Descript is an AI-powered media editing platform that reimagines audio and video production around the transcript rather than the traditional timeline. Users record or import audio and video, Descript transcribes it automatically, and editing is performed directly on the text — cutting a word from the transcript removes it from the recording instantly. This approach makes complex editing tasks like removing filler words, cutting repetitions, and restructuring content dramatically faster than traditional timeline-based editing. Descript also includes Overdub — an AI voice cloning feature that lets users correct spoken mistakes by typing replacement text, which is then synthesized in their own voice. Additional features include screen recording, multitrack editing, video publishing, and a Studio Sound tool for one-click audio quality enhancement. It is particularly popular among podcasters, YouTube creators, and corporate video teams.
