Edit audio/video by editing the transcript text — delete a word in the script and Descript removes that word from the audio/video automatically.
Use 'Remove Filler Words' (ums, uhs, you know) in one click — it detects and removes all filler words from the entire recording automatically.
Overdub (voice cloning) lets you fix mistakes by typing — if you mispronounce a word, type the correction and your cloned voice says it.
Use the Underlord AI to auto-generate show notes, chapter markers, and social media clips from your recording in one click.
Remove background noise in one click — the Studio Sound feature makes any room recording sound like a professional studio.
Export to multiple formats simultaneously — Descript creates YouTube video, podcast audio, newsletter transcript, and social clips from one project.
Use Screen Recording to capture tutorials — Descript adds your webcam, edits both feeds together, and removes pauses automatically.
