About Descript
Descript is an AI-powered audio and video editor built around a transcript. It transcribes your recording, then editing the text edits the media β so cutting a sentence removes it from the video. It also includes screen recording, AI voice tools, filler-word and gap removal, and automatic social clips.
Its appeal is speed and accessibility: people who find timeline editors intimidating can produce polished podcasts and videos by editing words, and teams can repurpose long content into clips fast.
