Edit audio and video by editing text. The all-in-one studio for podcasts, videos, and screen recordings.
About Descript
Descript: Text-Based Audio & Video Editing
Descript revolutionizes media editing by treating audio and video like text documents. Instead of scrubbing through waveforms, you edit the transcript—cutting words removes the corresponding audio automatically. It's as simple as editing a Google Doc.
The Descript Workflow
Transcription-First Editing
Upload your recording. Descript transcribes it automatically. Delete words from the transcript to remove audio. Copy and paste to rearrange sections.
Overdub: AI Voice Cloning
Create a digital voice model from your recordings. Then type new words and Descript synthesizes them in your voice—perfect for fixing mistakes without re-recording.
Studio Sound
One-click audio enhancement removes background noise, room echo, and levels volumes—making amateur recordings sound professional.
