Descript is purpose-built for audio editors and producers. Descript transcribes uploaded audio files to text, and allows users to cut and edit audio files by simply editing text in the transcript.  

What's Unique About This Product?

Descript provides high-accuracy transcription, but what makes it stand out is it's text-to-audio linking and the script and waveform editing functionality. The platform allows users to combine multiple audio files (multi-track recording) and to create interview highlights. Transcription of an hour-long audio file takes less than 5 minutes and can be easily shared.
