Descript is an AI-powered video and audio editing platform that lets users edit recordings by editing a text transcript, aimed at podcasters, video teams, and businesses across marketing, sales, customer success, and media.
Recordings are transcribed automatically, and deleting or rearranging words in the transcript changes the underlying video or audio to match; a full timeline is also available for conventional editing. Built-in tools remove background noise, filler words, and bad takes, generate captions, and can create or clone an AI voice for narration. The platform includes screen recording, remote recording rooms for podcast production, multitrack audio editing, automatic clip generation from longer recordings, and translation into other languages; an AI assistant called Underlord can carry out editing tasks on its own.
Descript offers a free plan that requires no credit card, along with paid subscription tiers for individuals and teams that need more editing time or advanced features.
