Descript
freemiumEdit video and podcasts by editing the transcript
About
Descript is the default tool for voice-led long-form video and podcast editing. The transcript-as-timeline workflow makes it 10x faster to cut filler words, rearrange segments, or write callouts than a frame-based editor. Recent releases added Overdub (AI voice cloning of your own voice), Studio Sound (one-click audio cleanup), and Eye Contact (gaze correction). Best paired with Opus Clip for shorts and CapCut for platform-native styling.
