"Great tool for speaking feedback"
What do you like best about Descript?

I like the quality of the transcripts in Spanish and that I can share it with the students. There are also many editing options to improve it. Being able to export it is also a very good point.

It has really helped my students improve their speaking because they can check which words they are not pronouncing well but also, once they look at the transcript, can really check their grammar and plan ahead for future assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

It is not that intuitive at first. I would like to be able to do groups but never managed to figure out if it is an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly, Perfect for Video Novices"
What do you like best about Descript?

I find Descript incredibly user-friendly, offering the ability to easily add my own voice-overs to video clips. The tool supports professional-looking videos even if I lack video editing skills, with options to customize slides with company branding. I also enjoy the variety in avatar options, being able to create both natural and artistic versions, along with custom avatars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I find that some features, especially those related to tweaking audio clips to match recommended slides and voiceovers in the video clip, are challenging to adjust. I believe there should be more tutorial guides to provide guidance on these features. It's sometimes unclear what specific features are about, and having more detailed guides or tutorials would enhance my understanding and usage of these capabilities.

"Effortless Transcription with User-Friendly Interface"
What do you like best about Descript?

I appreciate that Descript is easy to use due to its intuitive interface, making it a breeze to set up and operate. I love how straightforward the voice-to-text and text-to-voice features are, greatly saving me time in transcription tasks. The recording feature is particularly useful in my operations work. What impresses me most is that Descript delivers on its promises without overpromising, and it reliably performs its functions well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I feel that Descript could be more accessible. There's potential for ease of use if it were available through a Chrome add-on or something similar. Currently, having to log into my account via Google to process tasks feels a bit cumbersome. If I could process tasks directly from a browser tab, perhaps with a Chrome extension, it would streamline my workflow and save time. This broader accessibility could enhance its application and utility in my daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Must-Have in any creator's tool box"
What do you like best about Descript?

I'm a professional editor and a creator on YouTube for years, well versed in a myriad of different editing software, but there is nothing on the market today as fast and intuitive as Descript. Adding B-Roll to videos is a literal breeze, and the OverLord sound editor saves me the hours of editing time I used to spend fine tuning audio. Descript is a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

Can lag, as it takes a ton of memory to process video and audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Must have for small marketing teams"
What do you like best about Descript?

As a team of one, this tool has unlocked exponential content creation and repurposing power for me. I've used it for enhancing product demos, creating video content off blogs, professional testimonial videos and more. The AI features are smooth and fairly easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

it is unclear and inconsistent what can be fixed without uploading additional content. For example, I have been able to heal a misspoken word quickly for a short video when it is the first time I am adding that speaker and then for another file it wanted me to add a lot more to get context for just one word.

"Amazing & Intuitive Tool for Creating Longer Clips"
What do you like best about Descript?

Without ANY knowledge whatsoever in editing; I was able to intuitively figure out how to use this software for capturing a longer clip from a YouTube Video. It also provided my options to enhance my clip such as background noise reduction and fade in/out transitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I would've liked a short, interactive video that showed me how to capture the clip as was provided for the enhanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OMG. I love Descript."
What do you like best about Descript?

Descript makes my videos instantly better. It removed all the sto words (um, uh) in ONE click. And the Studio Sound button makes it sound like I am using a professional mic.

Editing via text is by far the best way to go for screen-recorder videos, which is what I primarilt use Descript for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I wish they supported iphone continuity camera better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Descript is the best tool for video editing!"
What do you like best about Descript?

Descript is an excellent tool and my favorite for video editing. It saves time by allowing precise edits, and the AI feature that removes filler words and silence gaps is fantastic. Additionally, the ability to eliminate retakes is an amazing enhancement. I truly love it!

Now that I can record my tutorial videos using both the screen and a teleprompter, I’ve cancelled my other video recording subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

1. Improving the AI voice cloning

2. More images, videos, emojis, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent video editing software for creating Reels and Videos"
What do you like best about Descript?

The Underlord AI that helps remove filler words like "uh" and "like" almost instantly is very helpful in editing, and it's super easy to use. The caption tools are great, and they can even reasonably translate from other languages. We use it every week to help us create content from longer form recordings. It was easy to implement, and integrating it with YouTube was easy and helpful for uploading things directly to that platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

Sometimes the AI editor can cut out some things that it shouldn't, so you need to keep an eye on it and review the video. It also requires us to log into YouTube frequently, which is likely a security feature, but seems to be more frequent than is ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
