Descript · AI Editor
Descript
Edit podcasts and videos like a doc — Overdub, filler-word removal, AI copilot.
Overview
Descript lets you edit audio and video by deleting words in a transcript. “Descript Overdub,” “AI podcast editor,” and “remove filler words” are creator-tool keywords with healthy CPMs.
The free plan is a taste. Paid tiers add transcription hours, Overdub (your cloned voice for fixes), Studio Sound, and team features. YouTubers use it to cut “um” without opening Premiere.
It is not an AI video generator. Bring a recording; Descript makes the edit faster.
