It’s how you make a podcast

The power of professional tools. The simplicity of a doc.
Makes me *want* to edit, can't believe I worked without Descript, far and away the best/coolest software I've ever used,  I love you so much,  can't imagine trying to edit any other way, would not be capable of making my podcast without Descript,  impossibly futuristic,  best productization of machine learning I've ever seen,  one of the most earth-shatteringly spectacular pieces of software I've downloaded in years,  far superior to any DAW, makes me feel like I'm living in the future,  black magic,  mindbending... I don't know that I'll ever be able to edit audio in any other way again,  completely changes your expectations of a whole software category, the most thoughtfully designed app I've seen in several years, I’ve just experienced a new level of sorcery

We flipped the script on podcasting

Descript is what you get when you build a podcast editing tool from scratch in a world with AI and stuff. No audio engineering experience necessary — just edit audio by editing text.

Simple and powerful

There are powerful video editors, and there are simple video editors. Only Descript is both. Beneath its familiar exterior is a formidable multitrack production engine that will step up to meet your most fantastical creative impulses.
