Descript
Description
A video editor from the US company Descript where you edit a video or podcast like a text document: it transcribes the recording, and deleting words from the transcript cuts them from the video. An AI assistant removes filler words and pauses, cleans up audio and cuts clips for social media; there is also voice cloning and dubbing. Transcription works only for Latin-script languages. It runs as a Windows and macOS app and in the browser.
