Overview
Descript is an AI-powered video and audio editing platform that reimagines media editing through a text-based interface. Instead of scrubbing through timelines, users edit video and audio by editing the transcript, making the process as intuitive as working with a document. Descript is used by enterprise teams at Amazon, Canva, Salesforce, LinkedIn, and HubSpot to streamline their content production workflows.
