Descript — AI Image & Video ◆

Descript turns video and audio editing into a text-based workflow—edit your script and the media follows. It's like using a document editor for your recordings. Descript automatically transcribes your video or audio, so you can cut, rearrange, or remove filler words just by editing the transcript, and the media updates instantly.

What it does

Beyond text-based editing, Descript includes a screen recorder, multitrack audio editing, AI voice cloning, AI avatars, and one-click captions. Its AI co-editor, Underlord, plus tools like Studio Sound and Create Clips help you produce and repurpose content faster, with watermark-free exports up to 4K on paid plans.
