What Descript is
Descript is a text-based editor for video and audio. It is built for marketing teams, sales engineers, support representatives, CEOs and other people making video.
It transcribes imported footage, scripts and calls, then lets users edit video through the transcript text. Users can remove filler words and retakes, clean audio with background-noise removal and voice enhancement, create clips, translate video and reformat video for different platforms.
