1. Step 2: Create or Import a Project

   Once you’re in the dashboard:

   2. Name your project

   3. Choose whether it’s an audio, video, or screen recording

   You can also import an existing media file:

Step 3: Automatic Transcription

Descript AI will automatically transcribe your media:

• Transcription starts instantly after upload

• You’ll see the text in a document-style interface

• Supports multiple languages (mostly English with high accuracy)

You can edit the video/audio by editing this transcript!

Step 4: Edit by Editing Text

This is where Descript shines:

• Delete a word from the transcript → that part is removed from the audio/video

• Correct any word → it updates accordingly

• Split scenes with the Enter key

• Highlight text to add effects, transitions, or cuts

You can also:

• Auto-remove filler words (like um, ah, you know)

• Detect and cut silence with a click

Step 5: Use Overdub (AI Voice Cloning)

Overdub is one of Descript’s most powerful tools:

1. Train your voice using a script

2. Record a few sample lines

3. Descript AI builds your custom voice model

4. Now, you can type words, and it will say them in your voice!

Use Overdub to:

• Fix mistakes without re-recording

• Change phrases for different audiences

Note: Overdub is available only on paid plans.
