Descript
What is Descript?
Descript is a revolutionary AI-powered platform for editing audio and video. Its key feature is the ability to edit media files as easily as a text document. After uploading an audio or video file, Descript automatically generates an accurate text transcript. By cutting words or sentences from the text, you simultaneously cut the corresponding segments from the audio/video track. The platform also includes powerful AI tools like Studio Sound to remove background noise, Overdub to clone your voice and create speech from text, as well as features for screen recording, multi-track editing, and automatic filler word removal. It's an all-in-one solution for creators, marketers, and businesses that makes professional content production accessible to everyone.

How to use Descript in your work?
Creators and marketers use Descript to dramatically speed up post-production. You record a podcast or video, upload the file to Descript, and get a ready-made transcript. Instead of listening to the recording for hours, you simply read the text and delete mistakes, slips of the tongue, and unnecessary parts. The screen recording feature makes it easy to create training videos and tutorials. CMOs and content teams use Descript to create video case studies, webinars, and promotional videos. The Overdub feature allows you to correct speech errors without re-recording, simply by typing the correct word. The finished project can be exported as video, audio, or just text for a blog post.
What advantages does it provide and what problems does it solve?
The main advantage of Descript is the democratization of video and audio production. The service solves the problem of the high barrier to entry for editing, which previously required complex software and special skills. It saves dozens of hours of work time by turning the tedious editing process into quick text-based work. The Studio Sound tool solves the problem of poor audio quality, allowing you to get studio-like sound even when recording in an unprepared room. Descript also solves the challenge of content repurposing: from a single video interview, you can easily create a social media clip, an audio track for a podcast, and a text article for a blog. This allows you to get the maximum value out of every piece of content.
How to integrate Descript with other services?
Descript is a content creation tool that is then used within your Wix ecosystem. You edit video lessons in Descript and then upload them to Wix Video or your courses on Wix Online Programs. You create short promotional videos and publish them using Wix Social Media Marketing. The audio version of your content can be hosted on your site via Wix Audio. The text transcripts generated in Descript become the basis for SEO-optimized articles in your Wix Blog. Through Zapier, you can set up automations, for example, creating a new Descript project automatically when a new file appears in Dropbox, which further speeds up the workflow.
