After you import and transcribe a recording or record directly in the app, AI speakers make correcting your recordings as easy as typing.
- If not already present in your script, add a speaker by typing
@
in your script. - Make sure to select an AI speaker from the list. If you’re creating a new one, make sure to enable speech generation before proceeding.
- Highlight the section of script you want to overdub.
- Select Replace > Overdub in the selection bar (Or just press
D
). - Type the audio you want to generate, and press Overdub.
Give Descript a moment to generate your audio. Once your overdubbed text has a green checkmark next to it, you can listen and playback the section.
When using overdub on a video with audio, Descript adjusts the video's speed to synchronize with the new audio. Descript will try to make the video's timing align with the updated audio.
