AI Tool Profile
Descript
Audio and video editor where you edit the transcript to edit the media, with Studio Sound to remove background noise. The Free plan includes 60 media minutes a month.
Description of Descript
Descript is an editor for video and audio in which recordings are transcribed and edited by changing the text. Deleting words from the transcript removes the matching media, and filler words and retakes can be cut in one step. The same workspace handles screen recording, remote recording, captions, translation, short clip creation and generated B-roll, with an AI agent called Underlord that can assemble a first cut.
For noisy recordings the relevant feature is Studio Sound, an AI setting that removes background noise and enhances the voice. The Free plan only gives limited access to it according to the pricing page, and the full toolset is described under the paid plans. Descript is an editor rather than a single-purpose cleaner, so it suits cases where the recording also needs cutting, captions or export, not when only one file needs denoising.
Pricing is per person. Free includes 60 media minutes per month, 100 one-time AI credits and 720p export. Hobbyist lists $24 per month on monthly billing or $16 on annual billing, with 10 media hours, 400 AI credits and 1080p export. Creator lists $35 monthly or $24 annual with 30 media hours and 4K export, and Business lists $65 monthly or $50 annual with 40 media hours. Enterprise is custom.
Descript runs in the browser and as a desktop app for macOS 14 or later and Windows 11. It states SOC 2 Type II certification with the report available on request, GDPR compliance, and SSO and SCIM for business use.
