Questions? We have answers
Can I record my screen along with my voice using Descript?

Absolutely! You can record your microphone, webcam, screen, or all of the above with Descript.

How can I access all my voice recordings in Descript?

You can find all your voice recordings under Quick Recordings, or in the Projects view where you can organize them into folders, or publish them as Descript pages to access on the web through a shareable link.

How long can my voice recording be?

You can record and transcribe up to 1 hour of audio per month for free with Descript.

Can I use Descript to add voice recordings to Google Slides or PowerPoint presentations?

You can use Descript to create video and sound recordings to insert in Google Slides or PowerPoint presentations. Even better, you can record yourself while screen sharing your slides to create an engaging presentation video.

Why does my voice sound different when recorded?

Your voice may sound different when recorded because you’re not hearing the additional vibrations created by your own body when you speak. Or it could be Descript’s Studio Sound effect regenerating your voice to improve the audio quality. Or you could be possessed.
