Look and sound natural on camera by using Descript as your online teleprompter whenever you record. No more memorizing lines or worrying about shifty eyes—just record yourself in one take with your script in front of you. Fix the rest in post with AI–powered eye contact correction and filler word removal in a powerful editor that makes editing videos as easy as editing text.
Create a new project in Descript and input your script in the text editor. You’ll notice that if you press play, before recording yourself, each word will be highlighted in the script based on the pacing of natural speech. Adjust the Playback speed dial to match the scrolling speed with your own speaking style.
Hit the Record icon to pop open the recording modal. Choose the inputs you want to record: your camera, microphone, and/or screen. Line up your Descript window with your camera so you can look at both the camera and script as you read. Select Record into script to transcribe a new script that’s synced with your recording. Click play as you record to auto-scroll through the script while reading with your current position highlighted. Take your time and redo your delivery as needed, then stop recording once you’re done.
You can now remove your original script from the editor since you’ll be working with your generated transcript instead. Cut, correct, and trim your transcript to edit your video. Then let AI fix your eye contact by selecting your video recording layer and applying Eye Contact under effects.
