Overall Satisfaction with Descript

I use it for editing my live show and podcast. It's a fantastic tool that makes editing much faster. Also creating support content like quotes, clips, and audiograms is simpler. I don't have to listen through everything; I can simply edit the transcript. I'd highly recommend the tool to anyone seeking to edit audio files or create small sound bites of contents from their recordings.
  • Audio file editing via transcript
  • Creating audiograms
  • Subtitles
  • I would like to see direct publishing of content to SM
  • Send highlighted text (i.e., a quote) to Canva automatically to create post artwork
  • After highlighting quote passages, send all those highlighted in one color to a text file with the name of the speaker, like a list of quotes.
  • Be able to set a series of tags and from that, Descript should create a list of highlights with the time stamps. Maybe the tags can have a title that goes with the time stamp.
  • Automatic creation of transcript
  • Editing via transcript
  • Audiograms
  • Can edit in less time
  • Has provided the opportunity to create other assets (like audiograms)
  • I do more, but overall it takes me longer; it's positive
I didn't edit the shows previously because it was so time consuming. I had to use one tool for a transcript, another if I edited, another for creating clips. None had the audiograms. I went with Descript because I liked the idea of editing the audio via the script. And I save time creating show highlights because I don't have to listen to the show several times.

Do you think Descript delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Descript's feature set?

Yes

Did Descript live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Descript go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Descript again?

Yes

For audio editing, I find it most suitable. For video editing, less so because if you edit by the transcript, the video can get jumpy.
