Previous comments on Descript 

“Descript has become invaluable to me as I’m working with a client who records video-based courses. It makes it easy to generate and edit transcripts and closed captions. The accuracy of its transcripts still needs some improvement, but it’s still a really useful tool.” 2024

“for quick video editing both for learning content and social media” 2024

“I would cry if someone took away Descript. I use it to edit our podcast, transcribe our podcast, transcribe any copy from videos, meetings, etc. Its a game-changer.” Quality Assurance Manager, USA, 2022

“This is a new discovery for me this year. We were converting courses that had a lot of video embedded and our instructional designers needed to know exactly what was said. Descript made this process fast and easy. Then, we realized that we could record calls with SMEs and drop the recordings into Descript to get a quick and easy transcript with each person labeled. It didn’t work as well when we were talking about eye surgery but still gave us something much more concrete to start with than our notes alone.” Tim Waxenfelter, USA, 2021
