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.
Licensed AI voices for professional team voiceover production
Hundreds of voices across languages, accents, tones and styles, each recorded by a real voice actor who gave consent and is paid when the voice is used, with full commercial rights on paid plans.
Control pacing, pitch, emphasis and emotion line by line, apply phonetic suggestions for difficult terms, and set pronunciations once so the fix applies across every file.
Keep versions, reviewers and sign-off together so comments become new versions inside the approval flow instead of being chased through email.
Produce the same course or campaign in more than 55 languages and accents, with voices matched to each market and translation available on higher tiers.
