Caption anything, instantly

Get more views on your videos and make them more accessible with one-click, custom captions in Descript.

Make sure they’ll hear you—
even on mute

Ensure anyone can read-watch your video. Add captions right from your transcript—or subtitles in 20+ languages for global reach.

Transcription that fits 
your workflow

Descript gives you an instant transcript, ready for editing, collaborating, and generating captions. And with industry-leading accuracy and speed, the transcription itself is pretty good, too.

Text-based editing

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.

Reach into any market with video in 20+ languages

Add captions to your video, then translate those and dub your audio in 20+ languages with our eerily realistic AI voices. All in a few clicks.
