What is Descript?
Descript is a revolutionary text-based video and audio editor that makes professional content creation accessible to anyone who can type. Unlike traditional video editing software that requires frame-by-frame manipulation, Descript automatically transcribes your media and lets you edit video by editing text—delete a word from the transcript and it removes that segment from the video. This breakthrough approach transforms podcast production, video content creation, and multimedia storytelling into a workflow as simple as editing a document.
The platform combines AI transcription, audio enhancement, and video editing into one integrated workspace. Overdub lets you create realistic voice clones for corrections without re-recording, while Studio Sound removes background noise and enhances audio quality to professional standards. Screen recording with automatic transcription makes creating tutorials and training videos effortless. Automatic captions and subtitles in 30+ languages ensure your content reaches diverse audiences and meets accessibility requirements. Green Screen, Eye Contact correction, and other AI tools help you produce polished content without expensive equipment or extensive editing experience.
For nonprofits, Descript democratizes video and podcast production. Create compelling donor testimonial videos by easily editing interview footage through the transcript. Produce professional training materials with screen recordings and automatic captions. Repurpose long webinars into social media clips by simply highlighting text to export. Generate accessible content with automatic captions in multiple languages for diverse communities. Record and polish podcast episodes sharing your organization's impact stories. The $5/month nonprofit pricing (compared to $24/month standard) makes broadcast-quality content creation achievable on nonprofit budgets.
Text-Based Video Editing
Edit video as easily as editing a document—delete words from the transcript to remove video segments, rearrange sections by moving text, and make precise cuts without timeline manipulation.
AI Transcription & Captions
Industry-leading automatic transcription with speaker detection, plus automatic caption and subtitle generation in 30+ languages for accessibility compliance and broader audience reach.
Studio Sound & Overdub
AI-powered audio enhancement removes background noise and improves voice quality. Overdub creates realistic voice clones for corrections and voiceover without re-recording sessions.
