Descript

Descript is an AI-powered video and podcast editing platform that introduced a revolutionary concept: editing audio and video by editing a text transcript. Users can delete words from a transcript and the corresponding audio/video is automatically removed, making editing as intuitive as working in a word processor.

The platform includes AI-powered features for automatic transcription, filler word removal, eye contact correction, green screen replacement, and AI voice cloning. Descript's Underlord AI assistant can generate show notes, create social media clips, remove silences, and perform other editing tasks that traditionally required manual effort.

Descript has become the go-to tool for podcasters, YouTubers, content marketers, and corporate video creators who need professional results without professional editing skills. The company has raised over $100 million in funding from investors including OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, and serves hundreds of thousands of creators and business teams.
