Platform Description

Descript is a platform that makes it easy to edit video and audio files like documents with text-based editing. Powerful AI transcription automatically recognizes dialog and supports subtitle creation and translation (23 languages). Studio sound removes background noise and enhances sound quality, and professional-quality results are just a click away, including green screen, eye contact, and filler word removal. A unique Overdub (speech synthesis) feature lets you clone your own voice or insert an AI voice, and the Underlord AI co-editor automates repetitive tasks like layout, transitions, and recommendations. Collaboration features allow team members to edit in real time, manage subtitles, and share templates in the cloud, with 4K watermark-free output and social sharing capabilities that bring the entire content creation process together into a single workflow. These features are also optimized for a variety of use cases, including podcast production, marketing clips, training content, and more.
