### "Wonderful software, goes above & beyond what you’d expect"

April 22, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with Descript has been incredibly positive. It has so many capabilities beyond transcription, and it has a beautiful UI that keeps everything organized in a really user-friendly way.

Pros

After using many expensive transcription services, I thought it was time to look for something a little more automated and a bit more affordable. I came across this software and decided to give it a try since there is really nothing to lose. I honestly didn’t expect much, but what I got was far and away beyond what I ever expected to get. The transcription ability of the AI here is really wonderful for the product. It will require some work on your end is you need it presentable, but I’d you’re just using it for recordings, it does a really great job.

Cons

I honestly have almost nothing to complain about, even remotely. The only thing I would caution against is expecting perfection from this as a transcription service.

### "Transcribe whole videos with ease"

February 17, 2021

5.0

When we record a very long video that we want transcribed, descript saves hours of work for us.

Pros

I love how easy it is once it is set up to create a project, drag a video in, and get an entire transcription for it without taking almost any time.

Cons

It can be a bit confusing with a steep learning curve initially. It took some time to get set up and used to.

June 18, 2021

5.0

it's very high

Pros

transcribing and editing, I like fact that it's easy to edit audio files by editing the transription

Cons

I wish that there was option to automatically transcribe when you upload an audio file. also if there was an option to automatically take out filler words, that would be helpful

### "Best Text to Audio Software!"

5.0

I have tried other text to audio products but Descript is top notch!

Pros

Text to audio is fantastic! It clears background noise and speech does not sound like a computer.

Cons

I can't delete audio tracks I don't like but I'm working with a free trial.

### "Best Editing Software Out There"

May 19, 2021

5.0

I absolutely love Descript and have recommended it to multiple people. It's been a \*huge\* time save when it comes to editing.

Pros

The fact that I can edit the transcript and it edits the audio/video is mind-blowing. It speeds up my workflow dramatically.

Cons

I wish there was an iPad version. My iPad is more portable.

### "Great value for novices looking to edit videos"

June 18, 2021

5.0

Pros

I love being able to edit my audio and video and use Overdub to make corrections. I don't need to be a multimedia expert to do this.

Cons

I'd like it to have Dark Mode for longer-term use.
