Video and podcast editor where you edit the video by editing its transcript
Descript is a video and audio editor that works from a transcript. You record or upload media, Descript transcribes it, and you cut and move the video by editing the text. A timeline is also there. Its AI assistant, Underlord, does editing tasks you ask for. Other tools remove filler words and retakes, clean up audio (Studio Sound), make short clips, add captions and translate videos.
It runs as a desktop app for macOS 14 or later and Windows 11 or later, and as a web app in Chrome, Edge or Opera. Paid users also get an API, a command-line tool and an MCP server for AI assistants.
Prices per person per month in USD, billed yearly / monthly: Free $0 (60 media minutes a month, 720p export); Hobbyist $16 / $24 (10 media hours); Creator $24 / $35 (30 hours, 4K export); Business $50 / $65 (40 hours); Enterprise at a custom price. Yearly billing saves up to 35%.
