What is Descript?
Descript lets you start from a recording, an existing video, audio, or script, transcribe the content, and then edit it just like a document. Users can retain manual control or let the AI co-editor assist with part of the editing process, followed by further checks of pacing, visuals, and audio.
The platform integrates recording, editing, optimization, sharing, and content repurposing into a single workflow. Actual transcription and AI processing are subject to the input material and account settings; therefore, edited results with text removed should not be considered manually reviewed. Speaker voices, contextual nuances of segments, and publishing permissions still require verification.

Pricing and availability
2026-10-25 The official FAQ lists a free plan that requires no credit card, allowing users to record, edit, and publish; users can upgrade when they exceed the limits. Specific quotas for media duration, AI processing, and exports have not been fully verified, so do not rely on legacy quotas or treat creating a free account as having full‑featured unlimited access.
