What is Descript?

Descript is a San Francisco-based editing platform that transcribes audio and video, then lets users edit the recording by deleting, rearranging, or retyping text in the transcript. It includes Overdub for AI voice cloning to fix flubbed lines without re-recording, Studio Sound for one-click noise and echo removal, and Eye Contact correction for on-camera video. It works as both a web app and downloadable desktop app for Windows and macOS.

Descript offers a free plan with about 60 minutes of media per month, with paid Hobbyist, Creator, and Business plans adding more transcription hours, AI credits, and export quality, plus a custom Enterprise tier. It is popular with podcasters, YouTubers, and marketing teams who want to edit spoken content without traditional timeline-based video editing software.
