A transcript-based video and podcast editor for marketers producing regular audio or video content without a dedicated editor.

Affiliate program

shifted from 15% recurring to a flat $25 per new subscription sale, run through PartnerStack.

What it does

Sample subheading — replace

Descript's core idea is editing video and audio by editing text. It transcribes a recording automatically, and cutting a sentence or deleting a filler word works exactly like editing a document.

For teams that produce podcasts, webinars, or talking-head video regularly, this removes the need to learn a traditional timeline editor. Studio Sound cleans up rough audio automatically, and Overdub can patch a mistake without a re-record.

It's not built for heavy motion graphics work; it's built around spoken-word content specifically.
