The big idea
Editing audio used to mean dragging tiny waveforms around for hours. AI tools like Descript edit by editing the transcript: delete a word in text, the audio updates. Magic.
Some examples
- Use Descript to delete every 'um' across a 30-minute episode in one click.
- AI balances your voice and your guest's so neither is too loud.
- AI generates show notes with timestamps from your transcript.
- AI suggests 3 quote-clips that would work as episode trailers.
Try it!
Record a 2-minute test podcast on your phone. Drop it in Descript (free trial). Try editing 'um's by editing the transcript. See how fast it goes.
