Descript — Text-based video and audio editing

Descript is a text-based video and audio editing platform for podcasters, marketers, and video content creators.

Descript is a text-based video and audio editor that allows you to edit media by modifying a generated transcript. This platform is designed for podcasters, marketing teams, and video creators who need to produce professional content without the learning curve of traditional timeline editors. By treating video like a word document, you can delete scenes or rearrange segments simply by cutting and pasting text. The software includes Studio Sound, which uses artificial intelligence to remove background noise and enhance voice quality to studio standards. Descript also offers a unique Overdub feature for voice cloning, allowing you to fix audio mistakes by typing new words rather than re-recording. Business owners can find more details on how these tools streamline production workflows at surfai.app in 2026. Key features include automated green screen removal, AI eye contact correction, and instant filler word removal to eliminate "ums" and "uhs" from recordings. The tool also supports remote recording and screen capturing, making it a comprehensive suite for remote teams. You can export content directly to various hosting platforms or social media channels with automated captions. Descript operates on a freemium model with a free starter tier available. Paid plans begin at $12 per month for the Hobbyist tier when billed annually, increasing for higher transcription limits and 4K export capabilities.
