I've been using Descript for several years now, and I love how they keep adding new features to it. The purchase of Squadcast was Chef's Kiss, and now the addition of the new AI features helps me considerably with my podcast editing.

Billing that won't stop, to the point where I had my card changed. Quitting the app does not close it, it keeps hugging system resources.

Overall, it's great. Fast to create, and we use it often for generic training videos. I look forward to the integration with Vyond.

Their AI is NOT great. Many words needed to be revised due to poor pronunciation. It is also very limited in regards to changing pitch. They try to accomplish this with their AI feature but have failed miserably, in my opinion.
