Descript

Edit video and podcasts like a doc

FreemiumFree TierFeaturedAdded Aug 1, 2017

About

Descript lets you edit audio and video by editing a text transcript — delete a word from the transcript and it's removed from the media. Features include screen recording, AI voice cloning, filler word removal, studio-quality audio enhancement, and multi-track editing. A revolutionary approach to media editing that makes podcast and video production accessible to non-editors.

Origin Story

By Andrew Mason

The Problem

Andrew wanted to start a podcast but found audio editing with traditional tools incredibly tedious. What if you could edit media by editing text?

Building It

Founded in 2017. Pioneered transcript-based editing. Added video editing, screen recording, and AI features over time.

What It Means

Media editing should be as easy as editing a document. Descript proved that a text-first approach works.

The Dream

To make professional audio and video production accessible to everyone.
