Product Updates

Like it or not, video has become an essential part of how we communicate. And while it’s gotten easier to capture and share video, editing remains difficult, slow, and non collaborative.

In the new version of Descript, audio and video files will begin transcribing immediately and automatically when you drag or import them into new compositions. You’ll also be prompted to add speaker labels or initiate speaker detection while Descript is creating your transcript.

With today’s release of Descript, we took a break from big changes (see: Studio Sound), and knocked out a number of quality-of-life improvements. We hope there’s at least a few things on this list that will make Descript nicer for you.

In the new version of Descript we’ve added the Learning Center — a new sidebar stuffed with videos that will teach you how to use Descript, show you a ton of tips and tricks, and help you hone your craft, whatever media you’re working in.

A new version of Descript features an improved Project Sidebar, edit boundary review tool, and comment tagging.

Explore Descript's Overdub—free for all accounts. Create natural-sounding voices with AI, edit audio by typing, and enjoy seamless speech synthesis.
