Descript is an AI editor for video and audio that transcribes recordings and makes the transcript an editing interface. Deleting words removes the matching media, while moving a sentence rearranges the footage, giving podcasters, marketing and sales teams, trainers, and support staff one place to record, transcribe, edit, and publish.
Source material can be recorded inside Descript or imported as video, audio, or a Zoom recording, and a conventional timeline remains available for precise control. AI tools can clean sound, remove filler words, generate supporting media, and produce clips, but editors control how far those tools go or can turn them off and should inspect the finished result before publishing.
