What it does

Descript lets you edit video and audio by editing a text transcript, like a document. Delete a word in the text and it disappears from the recording. AI tools remove filler words, create clips and even regenerate speech.

Podcasters, YouTubers, educators and teams making video or audio content.

Good points

  • Edit recordings as easily as a document

Watch out for

  • AI credits and media hours are limited per plan
