Descript AI - AI powered video and audio tools
Descript “Eye Contact” – an AI-powered feature that adjusts your on-screen gaze to make it look like you’re directly facing the camera, even if you’re reading off-screen. This eliminates the need for a teleprompter and reduces the number of retakes due to reading mistakes. Users can toggle the effect, choose the eyeball angle, and apply it selectively within videos. The tool aims to provide a more authentic connection with viewers without the need for memorization or buying a teleprompter
Descript “Remove Filler Words” – a feature to remove filler words like like “ums,” “uhs,” and “you knows” from recordings, enhancing the speaker’s credibility. Numerous users rave about Descript, calling it revolutionary and equating it to futuristic technology. Descript functions as a collaborative audio/video editor that feels like a document, offering transcription, screen recording, and advanced AI tools. Features include screen capture, transcription, podcasting, video editing, and sharing tools such as subtitles.
Descript “Studio Sound” — a feature that enhances audio quality by removing background noise, echo, and other imperfections, simulating studio-quality sound with just a click. This tool sets itself apart by isolating speaker voices and regenerating audio quality rather than merely subtracting sound. As a result, audio retains its richness without sounding dampened. Studio Sound’s regenerative algorithm improves voice clarity even in noisy environments, making it useful for a range of recordings, from conference calls to podcasts. User feedback highlights the effectiveness and ease of this feature. Users can try Studio Sound for free to experience its noise cancellation and audio enhancement capabilities.
Descript “Green Screen” – a feature allowing users to easily remove and replace video backgrounds without the need for a physical green screen. Powered by artificial intelligence, the built-in tool provides Hollywood-quality visual effects, including both virtual green screen and chroma key capabilities. To utilize the green screen effect, users connect online, import their video, and select the desired effect, and the AI will then analyze and process the background removal. Users can then add a new background image or video. Descript also supports multitrack editing, non-destructive edits preserving original files, and integrated title and caption creation.
