**Key features:**

- Edits video and podcasts by deleting or moving words in a transcript.
- Records remotely and on screen, with multitrack transcription in 25 languages.
- Cleans audio with Studio Sound and fixes eye contact, lighting and jump cuts.
- Generates B-roll video, voice, music, images and avatars with a choice of models.
- Translates captions into 61 languages and dubs audio into 30.
- Adds captions, thumbnails and YouTube descriptions, with comments and live collaboration.

Descript runs on the web and desktop and offers an API and MCP server. It is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, with SAML SSO and SCIM for business teams. A free plan includes one media hour a month; Hobbyist, Creator and Business plans add media hours, AI credits and higher export quality, and Enterprise is sold through sales.
