About Descript
Descript revolutionizes audio and video editing by allowing users to edit media by editing text. The platform automatically transcribes audio and video content, and any edits made to the transcript -- deleting words, rearranging sentences, or adding text -- are reflected in the underlying media.
Beyond transcript-based editing, Descript provides AI-powered tools including filler word removal, eye contact correction, background noise removal, AI voice cloning, and automatic scene detection. The platform supports screen recording, multi-track audio editing, and podcast publishing.
Popular with podcasters, YouTubers, content marketers, and video producers, Descript makes professional-quality editing accessible to users without traditional editing expertise. The platform's AI capabilities continue to expand with features like AI-generated B-roll and automatic social clips.
