Descript

Editor’s pick

Edit video and audio by editing the transcript.

Descript turns recording and editing into a text task: delete words from the transcript and the media follows. It bundles screen recording, overdub voice cloning, and studio sound cleanup into one app. For talking-head and podcast workflows, it removes most of the timeline fiddling.
