What is Descript?

Descript reinvents video and podcast editing by letting you edit the media like a text document — delete a word from the transcript and it's cut from the video. Add its AI features (filler-word removal, studio-quality voice cleanup, and Overdub voice cloning) and it becomes a genuinely different way to edit. Hugely popular with podcasters and YouTubers. Free tier available; paid from $24/month.

Descript sits in the Video category and is rated 4.5/5.0 by our community — one of the highest-rated tools in its space. It offers a free tier so you can try before you buy.
