What it does

What to know before using Descript

Descript describes its editor as a text-based audio and video workflow: media is transcribed, and editing the transcript can edit the underlying video or audio. Its official product pages also list transcription, captions, screen recording, Studio Sound and other AI-assisted editing features.

Descript currently publishes a Free plan as well as paid plans. Exact plan limits should be checked on the vendor site immediately before purchase.
