Descript

Descript enables editing of video and audio by treating transcripts as editable text. Users record, transcribe, edit, and publish content in one tool. Core workflow centers on text-based changes that update corresponding media, with AI tools for filler word removal, noise reduction, and voice regeneration. Differentiation comes from features like Underlord AI co-editor for prompts and designs, generative video creation, avatars for off-camera delivery, and translation for global reach. Precision timeline controls and professional layouts support detailed adjustments.

Core Strengths:

• Edits video by editing text transcripts instead of traditional timelines.
• Transcribes audio and video automatically in 25+ languages.
• Includes AI co‑editor (Underlord) for automated script and clip creation.
• Removes filler words like “um,” “uh,” and “like” with one click.
• Regenerates audio and adjusts eye contact with AI.
• Offers AI avatars and AI speech generation.
• Applies dynamic captions and subtitles to videos.

How It Works:

• Import or Record – Upload media or record audio/video within the app.
• Transcribe Automatically – Converts speech to editable text.
• Edit with Text – Delete or rearrange text to make corresponding edits to video/audio.
• Apply AI Tools – Use tools to enhance sound, improve eye contact, remove filler words, or generate visuals.
• Add Captions & Avatars – Generate subtitles and AI avatars for presentations.
• Export & Share – Render and export final video in high resolution.
