Descript - Text-based audio editor and automated transcription

It's a new product, so there are still some kinks with the software that the Descript team is working out, but Andrew Mason, the CEO, has been extremely responsive with customer service.

Pros:

Descript has helped my team save time transcribing audio and piecing together audio clips in a manageable and approachable way.

Cons:

(As of February, 2017) Descript is still only available for english audio and for Mac users, though this will hopefully change soon.

Great concept; however, doesn't allow you to create a sample without charging. It claims you have three projects, but in reality, you don't get to try this out without being charged which is very, very frustrating. I would like to try before I buy- that's only reasonable. There's no customer support.

Congrats on the launch! Subtitles are so helpful as I always mishear things.

Just did an hour long interview over Zoom and just dropped the file on Descript and my word! 🔥🔥🔥 This product just transcribed different English dialects 🙌 Pure genius! Thanks @andrewmason and team!

Best app I've discovered on Product Hunt. I love how you can automatically remove uh's and uhm's with the click of a button. I'm a new customer and super exited to use this.

Such a gorgeous product. Why Google and Amazon such a dinosaur still stand behind in distance? They seem to don't want to show or progress. Does it use a custom engine? Or partially rely on other voice engine whether open-source or commercial?

Good to have such an amazing futuristic app. I haven't thought that it might be so easy. Well, as the ad looks, seems like it's easy 😉

Love your product! Changed my entire podcast workflow
