Overview
Descript is audio and video editing software built around a transcript. Editing words in the transcript changes the underlying media, while AI tools help with transcription, cleanup, overdub or voice work, captions, and collaboration.
It is suited to podcasters, video creators, and teams that need to move quickly from recording to a polished edit. The product combines desktop and web-oriented workflows; exact plan limits and media allowances are not asserted.
