Overview

Descript revolutionizes video editing with its groundbreaking text-based approach that makes editing as simple as editing a document. Upload your recordings or record directly in Descript to receive instant transcripts, then edit your video by editing the text - cuts, rearrangements, and deletions in the transcript automatically apply to your video. Powered by advanced AI, Descript offers Studio Sound for professional audio enhancement that removes noise and improves voice quality without expensive equipment, automatic filler word removal that cuts ums and uhs instantly, Eye Contact that corrects gaze to appear camera-focused while reading scripts, and AI-powered Green Screen for automatic background removal. The platform's AI Speech feature creates custom voice clones and realistic stock voices, while AI Avatars provide pre-built or photo-generated on-screen presenters. Underlord, Descript's agentic AI co-editor, assists with script generation, design suggestions, and creative direction. Additional features include automatic multicam switching, video regeneration for audio corrections, caption and subtitle generation, video translation, viral moment identification, and YouTube description generation. Used by major organizations including Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Spotify, and The New York Times, Descript has earned a 4.6-star rating on G2 as an industry standard for video and podcast production.
