Edit video and audio by editing text — with AI voice cloning.
Descript's breakthrough idea: transcribe your recording, then edit the video by editing the transcript — delete a sentence of text and the video cuts itself. Add Overdub voice cloning, filler-word removal and studio sound, and you have the most magical editor creators have ever used.
Podcasters and YouTubers swear by it: editing becomes as easy as editing a document.
