Slow Down Audio

1) Sign up for Descript for free. You have 1 free hour of transcription per month. No credit card is required.

2) Upload your video to Descript by dragging and dropping it into the project window.

3) Once upload has finished, head to the "Layer" option on the right-hand panel and adjust the speed of your clips under "Duration". You can drag left and right in the "Speed" and "Duration" boxes or — for more precise control — simply type in any multiplier.

4) Share the optimized clip by clicking on Publish and selecting the "Export" button to post it or download the audio file to your desired location.

• Enhanced Clarity: Slowing down audio helps in catching every word and nuance, making it ideal for transcription work.

• Detailed Analysis: Language learners can better understand pronunciation and intonation by listening at a slower pace.
• Accurate Editing: Editors can make more precise cuts and adjustments when the audio is slowed down.
• Better Comprehension: Slower audio can aid in understanding complex technical or academic content.

• Use Markers: Place markers at key points in the audio to easily navigate and focus on specific sections.
• Adjust Pitch: Ensure the pitch remains natural by using pitch correction tools when slowing down the audio.
• Loop Sections: Loop difficult sections to practice or analyze them repeatedly without manually rewinding.
