About Descript
Descript is a revolutionary audio and video editing platform that uses AI to make podcast production dramatically easier. Its core innovation is editing audio and video like a text document—because Descript transcribes recordings automatically, users can edit by simply deleting words from the transcript. AI-powered features include automatic filler word removal (um, uh, like), Studio Sound for background noise removal, Overdub for voice cloning to fix mistakes without re-recording, and AI eye contact correction for video. Descript is used by podcasters, YouTube creators, and video producers who want professional results without complex traditional editing software.
