Descript is an AI-powered video and audio editor that flips the editing workflow on its head: instead of scrubbing a timeline, you edit a text transcript. Delete a sentence in the transcript and it is gone from the video. It records, transcribes, edits, and polishes in one place — built for podcasters, YouTubers, marketers, and teams that ship a lot of video.
Key features
- Text-based editing — cut, rearrange, and refine video and audio by editing words
- Overdub — clone your voice to fix mistakes or generate new speech by typing
- Studio Sound — one-click studio-quality audio cleanup
- Automatic transcription, captions, and filler-word removal
- Screen recording, multitrack timeline, and 4K export
