Descript capabilities

Automatically finds high-engagement moments in long recordings and turns them into ready-to-share vertical clips, plus derived assets like descriptions and chapters.

Automatically converts uploaded or recorded audio and video into a searchable, speaker-labeled, editable text transcript.

Auto-generates styled, animated on-screen captions and exportable subtitle tracks from the transcript.

Exports finished projects to local video/audio/GIF files or shareable web links, and publishes podcasts to hosting destinations.

AI adjusts the speaker's gaze to appear to look directly at the camera even when they were reading off-screen notes.

Detects and removes verbal fillers (um, uh, like, you know) and dead-air silences across a recording in one action.

Clones a user's voice so corrections can be made by typing, and regenerates audio (and matching lip movement) without re-recording.

A free tier plus three self-serve seat-based paid tiers (Hobbyist, Creator, Business) and a custom Enterprise plan, differentiated by included media/transcription hours, monthly AI credits, export resolution, and team features. Annual billing is discounted roughly 23-33% versus monthly.

Records screen, webcam, and audio (separately or together) and supports remote multi-participant recording for podcasts and interviews.

One-click AI audio cleanup that removes background noise, echo, and hiss while enhancing voice clarity to sound studio-recorded.

Edit video and audio by editing the transcript: deleting or rearranging words in the text removes or reorders the corresponding media, so editing footage works like editing a document.

An agentic AI co-editor that performs editing tasks from typed, conversational instructions rather than one-off suggestions.
