Descript
Video and podcast editor where you edit media by editing the transcript, with AI voices, clip tools, and screen recording.
What it does
Descript is a video and podcast editor organized around the transcript. It transcribes your recording, and editing the text edits the media, so deleting a sentence cuts the clip. It bundles screen recording, multitrack audio editing, filler word removal, studio-quality sound cleanup, and AI voice cloning for fixing flubbed lines.
Its AI features extend into generation, including synthetic voices, automatic clip selection for social formats, eye contact correction, and green screen effects, which is why it appears in AI video conversations. Fundamentally, though, it is an editor for recorded talking-head and audio content rather than a text-to-video engine, and buyers should weigh it accordingly.
Pricing is per seat with a free tier and published plan limits on transcription and AI usage. Podcasters, course creators, and marketing teams producing interview or screen-recording content are the core users.
