Descript is a video and audio editor that first turns your recording into text. You can then cut the video by deleting words from the transcript, just like editing a document. It automatically removes filler words and pauses, improves audio quality and creates captions. It's popular with podcasters and people making webinars and training videos. The interface is in English, and Finnish speech recognition is weaker than English, so Finnish content needs more correcting. The free version lets you try it out.
Who it is for: Podcasters and video makers, especially in English.
Best for: Video and audio, Marketing, Customer service
