Descript

Descript is an audio and video editor built around text. Users record or import footage, get an automatic transcript, and then cut or rearrange the media by editing the words.

What Descript offers

• Recording — capture screen, webcam and remote sessions inside the tool.
• Transcript-based editing — remove filler words and retakes by deleting text.
• Audio clean-up — background noise removal, voice enhancement, eye contact and lighting fixes.
• AI editing agent — an assistant called Underlord that can edit raw recordings on request.
• Sharing and publishing — comment links, captions, thumbnails, YouTube descriptions and translation into many languages.
