Deep dives

Descript's AI features enhance the editing experience

Descript offers a range of AI-powered features, such as transcription, voice clones, and smooth edits. Transcription allows users to easily edit their audio by transcribing it upfront and then editing the script. Voice clones have been improved and seamlessly transition cuts within audio recordings. Additionally, Descript has introduced eye contact, using AI to make it appear as though users are looking at the camera during video recordings. These AI features aim to enhance the user's editing experience rather than replace them.
