Descript saves podcast creators from the technical drudgery of audio and video editing — so they can focus on making great content. Descript offers an entirely new way of working with audio. It is a collaborative audio/video editor that works like a doc. It includes transcription, a screen recorder, publishing, and some mind-bending useful AI tools. Record into Descript and transcribe it automatically. Then simply edit the transcript — cut, paste, and delete — and Descript edits the underlying audio to match. You can do everything you need to create your podcast from start to finish record or import audio, make edits, add fades, music, and sound effects, and then publish your podcast online or export the audio in the format of your choice.

Podcast Editing Descript originally gained popularity among video and podcasting editors as a podcast editing tool, and rightly so. The ease of use makes it ideal for creative content creators and influencers who want to focus more of their energy on coming up with new content ideas and keeping their audiences engaged and less on editing the content. With Descript, you can do both audio and video podcast editing in the same manner you would edit a text document. You don't even have to type the text yourself. Just upload your audio files or video clips and Descript will transcribe the audio for you. Moreover, you can also fine-tune the audio through loudness normalization, noise cancellation, and automatic removal of filler words. With Descript's Overdub feature, you can clone your voice. From there, you will be creating audio content in your voice by typing words.

Overdub Descript's ultra-realistic text-to-speech generator allows you to speak in your own voice as simply as typing. Make editorial corrections, record voice-overs, or create placeholder audio faster and more easily than ever before. Overdub Stock Voices, free for every Descript user, allows you to choose from several different voices fit for all kinds of projects — and you don't need an Overdub Voice of your own.

Studio Sound No matter where you recorded your audio and what type of mic you used to do it, in just a few clicks, Studio Sound can make your audio sound more professional. It works by isolating the speaker's voice and then regenerating the audio with the improvements, so there is no dampening effect on the voice of the speaker.

With Descript, remote recording is a snap. Set up your interview on Zoom, Skype, or Google Hangouts and record directly into Descript — no additional software is needed. After your interview is finished, you'll have the transcript in moments.

Create and share a juicy tidbit from your podcast on social media. Create an audiogram, a short animation complete with audio and a text transcript. Customize it to match your brand and share it across your channels.

You can publish your podcast directly to the web, so sharing your podcast with your network or even soliciting feedback is easy and quick.
