Descript
Edit video and podcast audio by editing the transcript, like a document.
Introduction
Descript reimagines audio and video editing by making the transcript the primary edit surface — delete a sentence from the text and the corresponding audio or video is automatically removed. It includes AI tools for filler-word removal, studio sound enhancement, eye contact correction, and AI voice cloning (Overdub) for corrections. Descript is used by podcasters, video producers, and corporate communications teams. Its free tier supports up to one hour of transcription per month.
