About Descript
Overview
Descript is an AI video and audio editor that makes editing as easy as editing text. It transcribes any recording, then you cut, trim, and rearrange the footage by changing the transcript.
The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in San Francisco, and it has raised $100M from investors including the OpenAI Startup Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, and Spark Capital.
Key Benefits
- Edit video by editing a transcript, so deleting a word cuts that moment of footage
- Underlord AI co-editor turns a raw recording into a tight cut from a single prompt
- One-click tools clean up noise, filler words, retakes, eye contact, and lighting
- Translate and dub video in 30+ languages with proofreading
- Reformat and publish to YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn in a few clicks
- Enterprise controls cover SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO, SCIM, and GDPR compliance
How It Works
Record in Descript, upload footage, or drop in a Zoom call, and the AI transcribes it in seconds. Edit the words to edit the video, use the timeline for fine control when needed, then refine with one-click AI tools and export or publish to your platforms.
Use Cases
- Podcasters record, transcribe, edit, make clips, and publish in one place
- Marketing teams turn long-form video into short clips for social channels
- Sales engineers and support reps create video to communicate with customers and prospects

Why Choose This Product
Descript combines recording, editing, and publishing in a single tool so teams can make video without a dedicated video team. A free plan and a 4.6-out-of-5 rating across 837 G2 reviews make it approachable for beginners, while enterprise controls cover security and brand consistency.
