About

Descript develops a cross-platform audio and video editing platform centered around speech-to-text technology, enabling users to edit media by directly manipulating transcripts. Key innovations include Overdub, a realistic voice synthesis tool allowing users to correct or add to recordings using AI-generated speech, and Studio Sound, which enhances audio clarity with a single click. Targeting podcasters, video creators, and marketing teams, Descript has gained traction for its unique transcript-based workflow and recently launched Underlord, an AI-powered video editor capable of generating and editing video content from text prompts.
