What Descript is

For those of you who don't now what Descript, Descript is a platform that offers audio and video editing software with a unique focus on text-based editing. It allows users to edit audio and video files by making changes directly to the transcript of the content. This means you can edit the text, and the corresponding changes are automatically reflected in the audio or video, and vice versa.

Descript features include automatic transcription, text-based editing, collaboration tools, and the ability to export edited content in various formats. It's particularly useful for podcasters, content creators, and anyone who works with audio or video content and wants an innovative way to edit and manipulate their files.
