01
Open a new or existing project, then select the record icon to open Descript’s online voice recorder. Choose your microphone, switch on Studio Sound for clearer audio, and hit Record.
02
Speak into your microphone and watch your voice recorder transcriber work in real time. If you slip up, keep rolling. You can always cut or remove mistakes directly in the transcript.
03
When you finish editing, head to Publish, then export your audio as an MP3, WAV, or AAC. Or jump back into your Descript timeline to add more audio, video clips, stock images, captions, GIFs, and beyond.
Studio Sound helps each voice recording approach pro-level quality by cutting background noise and refining audio as you capture it directly in your Descript timeline.
Automatically generate a transcript with up to 95% accuracy while you record. There’s also a glossary for unique names or jargon. Edit the text to edit your recording, and instantly remove filler words.
You receive 5GB of free storage to safely host, edit, and share your voice recordings. Convert recordings into web pages so others can listen, view the transcript, and add comments. It’s also possible to embed an audio player on any webpage.
Descript is an AI-based audio and video editing tool that helps you revise podcasts and videos almost like editing a text document.
Every voice recording benefits from AI, giving you crisp, ready-to-edit audio for podcasts, YouTube videos, and beyond.
Use your own recordings as training data for Overdub, which creates a text-to-speech version that sounds just like you.
Descript has all the tools required to record and edit audio or video podcasts, even if you’re a beginner.
With automatic transcription and filler-word detection, it’s quick to spot and remove those “ums” and “uhs,” giving even spontaneous recordings a polished feel.
With a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating and a bunch of distinctions on G2, Descript’s users have declared it an industry standard in the video and podcasting world.
