What is Descript?
Descript transcribes your recording and lets you edit the media by editing the text — plus studio sound, filler-word removal, and voice cloning.
How to use Descript
Import audio or video and Descript transcribes it. From then on you edit the text: delete a sentence and the cut happens in the media. Remove filler words in one click, fix mistakes by typing (Overdub), and publish.
