Edit video and podcasts by editing text
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.
Describe the edit you want in plain language and let the AI assistant assemble a tight cut, add clips and handle repetitive production work.
Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.
Offline speech recognition, dictation, and subtitles for Windows and macOS
Dictate into any text field, including browsers, office apps, and code editors, with the recognized text appearing wherever your cursor is.
Run speech recognition on your own machine with no internet connection needed, so voice and text data never leave your computer.
Transcribe audio and video files with automatic speaker diarization and export subtitles as SRT or VTT with accurate timestamps.
Choose auto or manual punctuation, use automatic speech detection, or hold a customizable hotkey for push-to-talk, pausing as needed.
Provides extensive template and timeline effects with strong AI tools, but lacks Descript's seamless word-level script editing.
