About Descript

Descript's core innovation is text-based video editing — it transcribes your video and lets you cut, rearrange, or delete footage by editing the transcript like a Word document. It also includes AI Overdub (clone your voice to fix mistakes without re-recording), filler word removal, and Studio Sound (professional audio enhancement from a laptop mic). The most transformative editing tool for podcasters and video creators.
