Descript

Edit video and audio by editing a transcript.

Video GenerationFree planFree plan; Creator $12/mo

Descript is an audio and video editor built around a text transcript. When you upload a recording, the tool transcribes it and lets you edit the media simply by editing the words on the page, deleting a sentence removes that part of the recording, and rearranging text rearranges the clip.

It also includes studio sound cleanup, filler word removal, and an overdub feature that can generate new speech in a cloned voice to fix a flubbed line. Screen recording and multitrack editing are built in, so podcasters and video makers can record, edit, and polish in one place.

Typical uses include podcast editing, YouTube videos, course lessons, social media clips, and interview cleanups. It suits solo creators and small teams who want a faster editing workflow without learning a traditional timeline editor.
