Descript

Descript can experience performance lags with very large video files due to the processing power required for transcription and real-time editing. To improve performance, try breaking your project into smaller compositions, closing unnecessary applications, and ensuring you have a stable internet connection for cloud syncing. Also, consider upgrading your computer's RAM and processor if the problem persists.

While the quality improvement may vary depending on the severity of the noise and the recording environment, 'Studio Sound' can significantly enhance the clarity of your smartphone recordings.

Descript's Creator plan includes a certain amount of transcription hours per month. If you exceed those hours, you will be charged an additional fee per transcribed minute. Check the Descript pricing page (descript.com) for the current overage rate, as it's subject to change.

You can prompt Underlord with specific instructions related to your editing goals to explore its full capabilities.
