Should I use this instead of Descript?
If you primarily need transcription, yes. If you need video editing with text-based editing, Descript may be better. We focus on doing transcription exceptionally well.
Can I edit videos with your service?
We focus on transcription, not video editing. Export your transcripts and use them with your preferred video editor, or use Descript if you need integrated editing.
How does accuracy compare?
We achieve 99%+ accuracy compared to Descript's ~95%. Our AI is optimized specifically for transcription accuracy.
What about Descript's "Overdub" feature?
We don't offer AI voice cloning. If you need that feature, Descript is the better choice. We focus on transcription, translation, and AI analysis.
