So many languages—all lip-synced
Pick one of more than 20 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
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.
