"Steep Learning Curve and Limited Support"
1/5
What do you like best about Descript?

I like the AI interaction, though the AI credit usage is quick. Transcript editing seems good for clarifying unclear words or cutting pauses and ums. The AI also helps in creating clips and trailers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I have a hard time with the learning curve for Descript. The subscription plans are confusing and there's no credit for unused subscriptions if I upgrade. The customer service is basically non-existent, just an AI bot. Some features require the business plan, like using my own branding assets, and I can't upload some video formats. The onboarding process isn't great, and I think they should provide more material for new users. Their system doesn't let me experiment freely at the learning stage since the AI credits run out quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Audio & Video Creation with Powerful AI Voice Tools"
5/5
What do you like best about Descript?

Makes editing and creating audio and video so much easier. I use it as a marketer to create podcast, interviews and to edit webinars. I also love that I can AI my voice to make editing and creating end products much easier then having to record over many times to "get it right: Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I wish we could better organize our files. Everything is in one "folder" now and it starting to look like a hot mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Video Editing for Everyone"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Descript?

I love that descript is very user friendly and it spits out a transcript that you can literally use to manually edit the video once you input the media -- and you do not need to be a skilled or trained editor -- you simply need good instincts and basic computer savvy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I don't like the increasing fees and that there's too much AI integration that isn't always useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Descript will help you with every step"
5/5
What do you like best about Descript?

The number of resources that you can use step by step or at your own needs is essential for me. I felt guided with uploading and downloading my creative resource. I wasn't frustrated and needed to restart over and over to get to my finish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

There isn't one thing I dislike. I can use this at my own pace. If I have questions, the resources available plus youtube videos help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for speaking feedback"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Descript?

I like the quality of the transcripts in Spanish and that I can share it with the students. There are also many editing options to improve it. Being able to export it is also a very good point.

It has really helped my students improve their speaking because they can check which words they are not pronouncing well but also, once they look at the transcript, can really check their grammar and plan ahead for future assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

It is not that intuitive at first. I would like to be able to do groups but never managed to figure out if it is an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful Multicam, but UI Updates and Transcription Editing Need Work"
3/5
What do you like best about Descript?

Automatic Multicam is pretty helpful for podcast editing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

Lots of pointless updates to the UI that make it harder to navigate and more glitchy. Smart transitions being added automatically sucks. Remove that as being the default option please. Lots of issues with layers. The transcription is very touch and go and many times its impossible to edit words if a word is wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
