Descript for Web lets you access Descript directly from your web browser—no app download required. It supports fast project loading, quick processing for AI tools, and cloud-based storage that frees up your device’s local resources. Some workflows and features differ slightly from the desktop version, but you’ll find most of what you need to start editing, transcribing, and exporting in your browser.
This is the most powerful version of Descript yet, with:
- Faster editing, transcription, importing, and exporting
- Instant access to AI effects (Eye Contact, Studio Sound, Green Screen)
- Cloud- based storage for quicker access and less strain on your local drive (no need to download files locally)
- A new recorder that uploads as you record
