Ready for the world stage in a few clicks

So many languages—all lip-synced

Pick one of 30 languages; Descript’s AI will adjust your voice and mouth movements so it looks like you recorded it that way. Then translate captions and on-screen text into any of those languages with a click.

Natural, native- sounding voices

Descript’s troupe of multilingual AI speakers sound just like native-speaking humans. And with natural inflections and expressiveness, your audience won't be distracted by the fact that they’re listening to a disembodied robot voice.

Keep branded terms untouched

Translate your message, not your company name. Add branded words to the Do Not Translate list (available in Descript’s Brand Studio) so the AI knows when to stand down.

Edit by editing text

In Descript, you edit video by editing the transcript—or by telling Underlord, your AI co-editor, exactly what you want. And when a video needs updating, no need to reshoot: just replace the text, and let AI generate new audio.

If your plan is to scale your academy large and globally, and you have a small team that you need to make mighty, Descript is a really powerful companion to have.
