editing<\/a>. You upload your audio, it transcribes the recording, and then you can edit the podcast by editing the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDelete a sentence from the transcript and the corresponding audio disappears too. The first time you use it, that can feel almost too easy. Descript also has AI features for cleaning up recordings and correcting certain parts of your audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its voice features can also help when you need to fix a small mistake without recording the entire sentence again. The only real adjustment is getting used to text-based editing when you are used to seeing a traditional waveform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
