Descript
AI-powered audio and video editing through text
Descript lets you edit audio and video by editing a text transcript — delete a word from the transcript and it is removed from the recording. It combines transcription, screen recording, podcast editing, and video editing in one tool with AI features for filler word removal, eye contact correction, and voice cloning.
