Video/podcast editor with transcription and meeting recording
Allego provides conversation intelligence as part of its broader sales enablement and revenue-enablement platform. The conversation intelligence module automatically records and transcribes sales calls and meetings across common dialers and video platforms, supporting multiple languages, then analyzes those conversations to surface key topics, buyer sentiment, objections, competitor mentions, and successful selling behaviors. Transcripts are searchable, and the system generates summaries and action items from each call. Because it sits inside Allego's enablement suite, the analysis connects directly to coaching and learning workflows: managers can build showreels from top-performing calls, apply consistent scoring to identify coaching opportunities, and link reps to relevant training and practice modules. On the deal side, Allego ties conversation data to CRM context, providing early warning signals when deals lose momentum and visibility into buyer engagement across calls, email, content, and digital sales rooms. Allego is aimed at mid-market and enterprise revenue organizations that want conversation intelligence unified with onboarding, content, and coaching rather than as a standalone tool. It was recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Revenue Enablement Platforms. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

Descript is an audio and video editing platform built around text-based editing, where the spoken content of a recording is automatically transcribed and the resulting transcript becomes the primary way to edit the media. When users import or record audio and video, Descript generates a transcript that they can read, search, and edit, with changes to the text reflected in the underlying recording. The platform also offers one-click caption and subtitle generation so the transcribed words can be displayed on screen and styled to match a project. In addition to transcription and captions, Descript provides features for podcast and video production, including multitrack editing, screen recording, and AI-assisted tools. Because editing the transcript edits the media, it is especially useful for podcasters, video creators, and teams who want to cut filler, rearrange segments, or repurpose content without working frame by frame. Descript is aimed at content creators, marketers, educators, and teams who want transcription, captions, and editing combined in a single workflow. Pricing varies by plan.
