A Speaker is a label that identifies who's talking in your project. At its simplest, it's just a name in your transcript, but it also enables speech generation and avatar features in Descript.

• A label on its own organizes your script. It marks who's talking throughout the transcript. See manage Speaker labels.
• A label with an assigned voice can generate speech with one of Descript's stock voices or a custom voice clone.
• A label with an avatar puts a presenter on screen.

Project Speakers and drive Speakers

Speakers exist at two levels:

• Project-level AI Speakers exist in the project where you created them.
• Drive Speakers are custom voice clones saved to your drive. Reuse them across projects, and share them with people you invite.

• Detect and label speakers in your transcript: let Descript find the voices in a recording
• Stock voices
• Create a voice clone
• Managing and sharing your AI Speakers: rename, share, and delete drive Speakers
