by Descript, Inc.
Descript is a revolutionary multimedia editing platform that treats audio and video like a document. At its core, it automatically transcribes your media, allowing you to edit the content by simply editing the text—cutting words deletes the corresponding audio/video, and typing adds new words via AI-generated speech. This approach makes editing intuitive and accessible, especially for podcasters, marketers, and content creators who are more comfortable with text.

Beyond its signature Overdub (voice cloning) and Studio Sound (audio enhancement) features, Descript has evolved into a comprehensive suite. It includes a screen recorder, publishing tools, and advanced AI features like AI Green Screen for removing/altering backgrounds and AI Eye Contact to correct a speaker's gaze. It supports multi-track editing for complex projects like podcasts with multiple guests, making it a powerful alternative to traditional, timeline-based editing software.

It is designed for a wide range of users, from solo creators and social media managers to professional podcast and video production teams. The platform's freemium model allows users to start with core features for free, while paid plans unlock higher limits, advanced AI tools, and commercial usage rights.
