The Deep Dive

Descript makes video editing accessible to anyone who can use a word processor. When you upload a video, it automatically transcribes it. If you delete a sentence in the text, the video is edited simultaneously. Its most impressive feature, Overdub, allows you to type text and have the AI generate your voice to “fix” audio mistakes. It includes AI-powered green screen, background noise removal, and filler word detection (removing all “ums” and “uhs” with one click).
