Pros Descript has simplified video editing for me by a landslide! I no longer spend my time analyzing frame after frame, decoding what is said, and creating manual captions. The use of AI in this instance is constructive! Cons I think I wish there were more caption designs for the videos that I edit -- just to switch up the appearance. Review Source Cameron S. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The podcast editing tool that has helped us scale our podcast editing agency" May 19, 2021 5.0 Descript helps my team collaborate with clients on their podcast episodes. Hosts give us their recordings and then they leave us feedback in the form of comments on the transcript. It makes communication clear for everyone on our team and the collaboration features make it possible for us to have our remote team. We are able to help our clients sound their best with the filler word detection, something that would not be an effective option if we were editing with audio alone. Pros I love how easy it is to edit audio using the auto transcription. It allows for other great features like filler word and word gap detection/removal. The integration with Zapier allows us to import new media, and the publishing integrations allow us to export to hosts and other apps we use in our clients workflows. Cons For more advanced editing, I wish there were integrations with Adobe Audition that would make it easy to locate spots that have been commented on and then reimport or sync the changes. For our workflow, I would also love if we could utilize an API to directly integrate Descript with our workflow rather than needing to utilize Zapier. Reason for choosing Descript Descript is incredibly user friendly, while Heisenberg was difficult to start using. Switched from [Adobe Audition](https://www.capterra.com/p/214606/Adobe-Audition/) I used to use Audition but it was a difficult software to train other team members on. While I still use Audition for some more advanced editing, 95% of our podcast editing takes place on Descript now because it streamlines the editing process for our whole team.

Instead, I spent multiple consecutive days fighting a platform that gave contradictory guidance at every turn — each fix Underlord suggested broke something else — while AI credits were deducted for Avatar generations that never even completed. I eventually hired a professional AI consultant to help, and even she couldn't produce a usable result after a full day of work. We abandoned Descript entirely and started over elsewhere. To Descript's credit, support initially acknowledged these failures: they refunded $400 and offered an additional $545.48 in writing, which I accepted. But that second refund was never issued, and my follow-ups went unanswered. Overall, this wasn't just a product that didn't work for my use case — it was a company that didn't follow through on its own commitments once the product failed. I'd think twice before relying on Descript's AI Avatar features for anything time-sensitive or important, and I'd get any refund promises in writing with a clear timeline attached. Pros Honestly, very little. The interface looks polished and the marketing promises a lot, but in my actual experience, the AI Avatar and Underlord features didn't deliver, and Descript's support didn't follow through on commitments they made in writing either. Cons The AI Avatar feature failed to complete generations while still deducting AI credits — money and credits gone for nothing. Underlord, the AI assistant, gave contradictory guidance throughout: every fix it suggested created a new problem, sending me in circles for days. I brought in an outside AI consultant for a full day of dedicated help, and even she couldn't get a usable result out of the platform. Beyond the product itself, support's handling of this was worse. After acknowledging these failures, Descript offered me a refund of $545.48 in writing, which I accepted — but that refund was never issued, and follow-up emails went unanswered. A company that won't honor its own written commitments is a serious red flag, separate from any product bugs. Review Source Zaiba S.

You won't realize how much time it saves until you use it. Fortunately, there is a fantastic free trial to try it out. The shortcuts are really useful and will save you a significant amount of time. There is a lot to learn, but once you do, the software will save your life. Pros 1\. Descript's key feature is how it transcribes your audio and converts it into an editable word document. I was astounded to discover how simple it was to effectively cut and paste words while simultaneously moving the audio waveforms. 2. It makes use of the Google speech to text engine, which has been demonstrated to be the market leader in numerous studies. 3. Transcripts are attractive and are designated by individuals. With just one click, you can securely send transcripts with video or audio. Cons 1\. It becomes slow with time, and you must pay to utilize it on a regular basis. 2. Although the automatic, entry-level version of Descript has a transcribing accuracy of roughly 95%, there are still grammatical problems. 3. It takes longer than I expected to look over transcriptions and revise them later, so I have to spend more time correcting the transcripts even during my working hours. Switched from [Otter.ai](https://www.capterra.com/p/202799/Otter/) Otter.ai does not provide 600 minutes of free transcription services every month. Hence I had to make the switch.

Fix the 2 issues described above and I go from an 8 to a 9.5 Pros I like the text based editing feature. The AI tools are good as well. Cons The pricing is a little high. I have to spend too much time cleaning up the transcript between transcript errors and Speaker labels, If those worked well, I could greatly reduce the time it takes me to get a podcast ready to publish.

Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Descript has deteriorated to the point of being unusable" September 27, 2025 1.0 Unfortunately, the developers have slowly destroyed what was a fantastic tool. This has been very sad to watch. I truly enjoyed using Descript before and raved about it to everyone. The fact that the developers push new updates and features at a seemingly daily basis seems to be at the heart of things. Rather than a thoughtful process of preserving what people loved about the software and methodically stepping out enhancements, the tool has slowly devolved into an unreliable, unpleasant, and unusable tool. Pros Descript USED to be my favourite tool for screen recordings and voice overs. The previous version (about a year ago) was reliable, easy to use, and had all the features to expedite workflow in going from a raw screen recording to a polished video. Cons The current software is unusable. The most significant issues are in corrupted and failed recordings. Short segments (roughly a word or two in length) are randomly dropped at multiple points in a recording, and in other cases the recording stops (without warning) midway through. More generally, where once the editor was slick and responsive, it has become glitchy and laggy. It does not accurately show the video in the timeline (so it is not synced with the audio, making edits almost impossible). My last few recordings I tried multiple times, but each one had major errors and I finally gave up, cancelled my subscription, and moved onto other software tools. Switched from [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) Descript initially offered faster and smoother workflow. (For my latest recordings I switched back to Camtasia as it is more reliable, even though it is slower.)

We used Descript to record and edit several videos. The edits were done around May, mainly using the web app. When we opened those same projects in December, many of them looked like raw recordings again. Cuts were missing and effects were missing. Support and engineering told us they checked their logs and only saw “creation → recording → transcription,” and they said they could not find proof the edits were ever made. That explanation does not match what we saw in the app. The affected videos show two project backup files. In Descript, backups only appear after you start editing (the app even says so). But when we checked other projects that we know are raw, those do not show any backup files. We asked a simple question: if backups appear only after editing, why do the “raw” affected videos have two backups while truly raw videos have none? They did not answer this clearly. One rep also said they noticed a spike in network errors in May. That is exactly when the edits were done, which makes it very likely the edits did not save or sync correctly. Instead of admitting this could be the cause, support kept pointing to “no logs of edits” and that it was our fault. They refunded one month, but called it a “courtesy.” That was disappointing. We also stopped using Descript while they were investigating because we did not feel it was safe to keep working in the platform. If that one-month refund was meant to cover the time we could not use the service during the investigation, that still does not address the real damage. We lost many hours of work, we paid our editor hourly, and we paid for the subscription for convenience and reliability. For the amount of inconvenience and loss we experienced, one month is clearly not enough. Pros Descript is easy to use for recording and basic editing, and the workflow is convenient when everything works. The web app makes it simple to access projects without installing heavy software, and the built-in tools for transcription and quick edits can save time. Cons Reliability and support follow-through. Projects edited months earlier appeared as raw recordings later, with missing cuts and effects. Support could not recover the edits and did not clearly explain why affected projects had backup files while truly raw projects did not. The response felt dismissive. Review Source JY James Y.

Files losing audio randomly, projects taking forever to load and freezing every other second, the software crashing in the middle of a recording session. Far too many bugs to count. My workflow is essentially nonexistent because i'm constantly troubleshooting. Generally the support people are helpful, but i can only spend so much time talking in circles with their AI assistant before moving to a person to help me fix the problems caused by the software. Pros I like the idea of this program. On paper it seems very helpful. The text based editing helps me map out my episodes and some of the tools help me repurpose clips and stuff. Cons There are far too many bugs for it to be useful. I'm not exaggerating when i say that i have to deal with multiple BIG problems every day. I've gotten maybe a quarter of the work done that i've needed to. This software's performance is just terrible.

March 20, 2026 5.0 Its been fantastic using this tool. Especially the monthly free credits is exceptional and non like others. Pros I love the captions very much. With Descript, I am able to add caption to all my Youtube videos. Also the transcription is so smooth and fast. Cons Its a bit slow to edit and make changes to captions. You will have to highlight the sentences one after the other. Review Source Hawa L. HR Consultant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Descript is the tool to use!" December 22, 2025 4.0 My overall experience was great I enjoyed the tool learning curve. It’s great for someone like me who is learning to edit. Descript makes it easy and enjoyable. It has strong AI features as well. I would definitely use it again. Pros I appreciate how you can upload a full video on the descipt platform and it takes the best video clips for you. Descript saves you time on editing and is user friendly. No more long hours wasted on editing. It is a platform for beginners who are learning to edit. Great at transcriptions and removing filler words. Cons I find that if you have larger files it may take longer to edit and may slow performance on your chrome book or an older computer. It depends what type of desktop your using. If you can afford the higher tiers they have great features. Review Source CE Chris E. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Take the frustration out of audio/video editing." July 28, 2021 5.0 Pros I love that Descript makes editing video and audio content so easy. And the transcriptions are so accurate it's scary! This software has saved me countless hours but more importantly removes so many barriers that keep people from getting started with creating video and audio content. Cons The editor UI is a bit clunky and compressed, I feel like the editor area should be larger which might make it even easier to use.

Operations Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Must for Podcast Editing" September 11, 2024 4.0 Overall, I enjoy working in Descript and find it has a lot to offer in the video/audio space. Pros Descript makes it easy to communicate with our production team for edits, pulling of soundbites, etc. It's also nice that it is its own app with storage due to the size of most files. Cons Combining multiple files from one podcast for editing is a little strenuous. Switched from [Squadcast](https://www.capterra.com/p/182098/Squadcast/) Familiarity and simplicity of making basic edits. Review Source KG Kay G. Coach E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Impressive ease for video editing. " September 25, 2025 5.0 I have been very impressed with the speed and efficiency of Descript for editing (I use it for 15-45 minute training videos primarily of me to screen, and then add examples and annotations on top). It was intuitive to learn and I did so without support, despite being a total novice. It has saved me a lot of time and money I could have spent on someone doing it for me. Pros The ability to edit by removing words and chunks from the transcript is superb - it really makes editing a breeze for a complete amateur (like me). I also like how I can add images, notes, titles and so on to the video either on top of the recording or by insertion. The captions function is great, and surprisingly accurate. Cons I'm an amateur editor (I use it to create training courses in the main) so I'm not sure what I'm missing, but really there's nothing I would immediately change. It's great.

These features included speech recognition, call recording, automatic transcription, audio editing, screen recording, audio recording, and video montage. This made it a comprehensive platform for me to create and edit audio and video content. Pros I was able to get a transcript of my audio recordings in just a few Cons I found it difficult to cut, paste, and adjust the volume of my audio files. Review Source Danielle N.

In the past, planning my edit - because of how my brain was working - I practically ended up with a handwritten transcript. I thought: there's got to be a tool that will do this automatically. Then along came Descript! Descript is a pretty robust tool for editing video and audio. They seem to be headed toward making it a full featured tool that can do it all. However, my background is in Adobe Premiere Pro, and right now it's not worth my time and energy to learn to use Descript instead. But Descript has been a very helpful supplement. Pros Descript has many amazing features - even ones that I would have never thought of to wish for. Here are some of the features that most impressed me. I love being able to edit video or audio recordings simply by editing the transcript. You can edit within the same file, or you can open another file in a separate window and copy/paste the sections you want from the original file - which remains intact. Descript's filler word and "dead air" removal are pretty amazing as well. The option to export a format that is editable in Adobe Premiere Pro comes in very handy. Currently, my workflow is to get the main video edit done in Descript, and then fine tune and add additional elements in Premiere. In fact, I had used Descript's Marker feature to indicate section headers that I was going to add in Premiere. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Descript's Markers translate directly to annotated markers in Premiere, making it really easy for me to find the spots to insert section graphics and which header cards to put where. Descript's built-in screen recorder has been very helpful for grabbing b-roll from websites. I even used it to show the Descript team some minor challenges I was having with their app. Cons The accuracy of the automatic transcription can be a bit hit or miss. British accents are notoriously problematic. Not only does the app misinterpret words, but the rhythm of the person's speech can cause the app to put the wrong punctuations in all the wrong places. If the transcript needs a lot of editing, I'll put the whole transcript in Edit Mode. But I often need to play back a section of audio to know how to correct it. Playback doesn't seem to work in Edit Mode, and it's very cumbersome to switch back and forth. I often need to add captions to the exact same clip in two different formats for social media - e.g. square and vertical. Simply uploading the caption file I had exported from Descript for the first clip to the second clip didn't work as I would have expected. The Descript developers are continually updating their app - which is both good and bad. It seems like every time you open it, some feature is new or modified when you haven't even had a chance to get comfortable with the way things were.

This is the first software that I find to have a natural sounding AI with affordable price tag. I also could make the AI learn my voice and my inflections, and become one of the AI speaker, so I don't have to record my voice ever again Pros Text-to-speech feature. The feature could learn my voice and turn it into an AI voice. Now, I don't have to record my own voice for the audio of my next video project Cons In the span that I have been using the software, there has been major updates and changes made. More and more features have been added like the video editing for example, and some changes to the UI. I am mainly using it for audio purposes only, so the new features are not relevant to me. But I still have to be updated with the UI changes as it affects my work flow. I am still in the learning curve to master the software Review Source Cindy B.

I can't afford to pay an editor and Descript suits my needs. I believe I can even use it to record the podcast but I haven't played with that yet. Pros Descript takes all the filler sounds out of your recording - um, uh, etc. You can shorten long pauses - dead air. I love editing from the transcript. I have a mild tremor so fiddling with the usual sound editing software is difficult. It takes forever to get it at just the right spot. With Descript, I make the change in the transcript and Descript makes the change in the audio. I can delete words or whole sentences. I can even move things around. I believe you can train it to your voice so you can add words to the transcript and the audio file will sound like it was there from the start. It's magical! Cons If I want to use the transcription for other purposes, like a blog, it requires a lot of editing. Sometimes sentences aren't structured right and sometimes words are wrong. It's not all that time consuming, just annoying. Alternatives considered [Audacity](https://www.capterra.com/p/214605/Audacity/) Reason for choosing Descript Descript was easier to use.

Without Descript, I would literally not podcast at all. The ease of working in text most of the time is a game changer, allowing me to focus on content. Pros I like most the automatic transcription and the ability to edit in TEXT rather than in waveform. For podcasting, Descript cuts 90% of my editing time. It is such a productivity booster and allows me to spend more time on editing the content, the flow, arranging pieces, etc. Cons File management can be confusing. Text editing interface could be a tad more fluent. I demand German language transcription :-). Review Source RF Robert F.

Cons All white interface is hard on the eyes, I wish we could customize to dark. I am wishing we could bring in an existing video/film edit. Such as a AAF or xml/eel file and collaborate as a team inside Descript. Reason for choosing Descript Cost, excellent Demo, speed change f ground breaking developments and improvements and finally its flexibility to use in other areas not only in film, but audio, audiobooks, public meeting transcription, and many, many more applications outside its initial intended use.

March 17, 2023 5.0 The audio editing and transcribing program Descript is fantastic. In order to clean up an audio recording, it helps to be able to modify a transcript and search for filler words and recurring phrases. Pros I appreciate that it is a software-based service that I can have on my laptop and work on whenever I feel the urge to do so. When attempting to detect speakers, its auto transcript performs quite quickly and accurately. Cons Unfortunately, the transcript isn't flawless. In order to get an exact translation, human editing is necessary. It's also inferior to programs like Audacity and Adobe Audition for fine-tuning audio. Switched from [Audacity](https://www.capterra.com/p/214605/Audacity/)[Twilio](https://www.capterra.com/p/180158/Twilio-Communications-Platform/) Because it is an easier program to use.

I was disappointed by the Overdub feature - still lots of improvements to be made in terms of natural-sounding speech, but I'm sure this is being improved with each iteration. Pros Using the transcription to edit audio and video completely changes the game - so much time is saved by being able to use the text to guide exactly when to clip. Cons Responsiveness is still a bit laggy, and compared to other multi-track editors, this still feels at times unwieldy. Transcriptions could also be more accurate, as going through and changing them can take quite a lot of time. Review Source AA Alan A.

Also, using the screen recording feature allows me to communicate what is on my screen. I can edit the ums and ahs out and clean up the recording before I share the video with team members or clients. This saves time in having to type out what a tricky customer service type problem might entail. Pros I really like that as a person with no audio or video editing experience, I can create useable short audio and video content for social media, websites and for sharing information. I no longer have to outsource this editing work to Fivrr. Cons As the product grows and more features are added, it become harder to learn the system if you have no editing background.

" July 22, 2023 5.0 I was just testing this platform for the sake of it, but I was amazed! The approach to video editing directly on the transcribed script is very interesting. I thought that removing the silences and filler words was amazing, but finding that it can also replace words by cloning the speaker voice and the AI eye contact effect!... amazing. Pros This siftware can be a game changer, its very quick and precise to transcribe and the approach to edit the videos is quite interesting. Automaticaly removes filler words and silences and you can easily edit the videos and audios just by editing the text! Cons The video editor should be improved. Not being able to zoom out of the canvas makes editing the videos very hard, since the boundaries are out of the work area. Review Source Yann I. Consultant Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A must-have for every video content creator" May 14, 2021 5.0 Pros I have been using Descript for a while now, and have noticed a new series of features being added to the platform. However, even though those additions have been more than welcome, what I consider the platform's top feature is something that has been at its core for quite some time: Descript's transcription tool. In particular, I was really impressed by the accuracy of the transcription tool's AI. If I had to estimate, I would say that the accuracy of the transcriptions Descript has done for my video content has been around 90%, which is really good. Cons While the transcription tool has been very good and accurate, I feel that its user interface could be improved. In fact, it has happened to me a few times to accidentally delete parts of a video (since Descript can be used for video editing too), while I was trying to edit some of the captions/subtitles that were created by the tool's automated transcription feature. Luckily, I have also noticed this in time but this could have very well have led to a video having missing parts because of this "accident". Review Source RC Rachel C.
