About Descript
Descript is an AI video and audio editor that works from a text transcript. You edit the words, and the matching audio and video follow, which suits talking-head videos, podcasts and recorded calls.
What it does
You record or import a file, and Descript transcribes it in a few seconds. Cutting or moving a sentence in the text moves the matching footage with it. The tool can remove filler words and retakes, clean up background noise, add captions, generate a thumbnail and translate a video into other languages. A traditional timeline is there when you need it.

Who it's for
