Descript

Edit audio and video by editing the transcript.

Visit Descript Freemium

Descript transcribes your recording and lets you edit the media by deleting words in the text, which is a genuinely different interaction model and much faster than scrubbing a timeline for a podcast or talking-head video. It also does studio sound, filler-word removal, and screen recording. The free tier covers a limited transcription allowance.

Where it falls short

Accuracy varies with audio quality, and the project format is not portable to other editors.

Alternatives in Video & Audio

  • DaVinci Resolve
    Professional editing and colour grading for free.
  • CapCut
    Fast editing built for short-form vertical video.
  • OBS Studio
    The standard for screen recording and live streaming.
