Descript
AI video and podcast editor that lets you edit media by editing text.
Descript is an AI-powered video and podcast editor with a completely different approach — it transcribes your recording and lets you edit the video by editing the text transcript. Delete a word from the transcript and it disappears from the video. It also includes AI voice cloning (Overdub), filler word removal, and automatic chapter generation.
