About Descript

Descript is an audio and video production workspace where creators edit media by editing its transcript. It combines recording, transcription, screen capture, video editing, speech generation and cleanup tools in one interface. Underlord acts as an agentic co-editor that can draft scripts, transform source material, apply bulk changes and assemble cuts. This lowers the barrier to polished production, but AI credits and media limits vary by plan, and advanced editors still offer deeper manual control.
