Get started
These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Enter your voiceover script
Open a project in Descript, switch to Write mode (press the W key), and start writing or pasting your script. You can also begin a fresh recording to capture and transcribe your own voiceover.
02
Pick a voiceover style
Choose the speaker label above your script, then pick an AI voiceover that fits your overall idea. You can also clone your own voice. Once you've chosen an AI voice, select a specific style or tone. It may take a moment for the voiceover audio to generate.
03
Produce your voiceover video
To synchronize your voiceover with the video, insert a ‘/’ into your script whenever a new scene is needed. Once your voiceover video is complete, head to Publish > Export to download your video or audio file.
A virtual cast of voice actors (no hiring required)
Descript’s lineup of stock AI voices includes both male and female styles, each trained on thorough voice data. Don channels a gritty radio vibe, while Carla offers a polished spokesperson feel. Every AI voice comes with multiple tone options—from formal to melodic—so you can switch things up in just a few clicks.
Clone your voice in minutes
Create an AI narrator that sounds like you with as little as 10 minutes of recorded audio. Add more recordings over time to make your AI voice sound even more natural. Record yourself in different settings or with different tones to create a versatile army of voice clones.
Text-to-speech built into a robust video editor
Descript’s text-based video editor allows you to edit video and audio just like editing text. Any changes to your auto-generated transcript automatically show up in your underlying video and audio tracks — and you can add a single word or an entire paragraph to your voiceover simply by typing.
Descript uses AI for audio and video editing, letting you manage podcasts and videos through text-based tools.
Social segments
Create voiceover videos for TikTok or insert narration in YouTube clips, then layer in animated subtitles, audio effects, visuals, and more.
Recording
Record your voice, camera, and screen, then place them straight into your timeline so no important detail is missed.
Subtitles and captions
Generate automatic captions that sync with your voiceovers, helping viewers stay on track.
Publishing
Send your voiceovers as audio or video directly to podcast and video platforms. Or publish them as Descript pages complete with an embedded media player and a searchable transcript.

What is an AI voiceover?
AI voiceovers are produced by synthetic voices that replicate human speech through extensive voice training data. The more data, the more lifelike they get. They're ideal for videos, articles, audiobooks, podcast intros, video tutorials, and any audio or video project where you might otherwise hire a voice actor.
How do you create realistic AI voiceovers?
Provide at least 10 minutes of recorded audio — though 30 minutes or more is recommended — to build realistic, human-like AI voiceovers. With Descript’s Regenerate and voice cloning features, you can easily craft your own AI voiceover that speaks your script automatically.
Can I replace existing voice audio with an AI voice using Descript?
Yes, Descript offers a straightforward way to replace existing voices with either a refined version of the same voice or a completely different AI voice, at any point in your auto-generated transcript.
How does speech-to-text conversion work?
Speech-to-text relies on AI and vast training data to identify key acoustic characteristics of words across accents and speaking styles, then convert them into text.
How do you add voiceovers to TikTok videos?
You can add a voiceover effect to TikTok by using the text-to-speech feature. Alternatively, you can rely on Descript for more flexible, realistic AI options, such as cloning your own AI voice.
