Overview

Descript is an audio and video editor that transcribes your media into an editable text document, so cutting a sentence edits the recording itself. It also offers AI voice cloning for overdubbing and filler-word removal. Podcasters and video creators use it to edit far faster than with traditional timelines.

Pricing models change often. The summary above is indicative as of October 2026 — confirm current plans on the official pricing page.
