About Descript

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. Check the official website for current pricing.

About JotMe

JotMe is an AI meeting assistant built around multilingual meetings and events, combining real-time translation, transcription and note generation in a single tool. Its live translation aims to preserve speaker context and intent while transcribing speech with speaker labels, and it can produce multilingual output so different participants can read transcripts, summaries and notes in their own language. After a session, JotMe generates structured meeting notes, summaries, key decisions and action items, and offers an 'Ask JotMe' feature for querying what was discussed without re-watching a recording. It can capture audio without requiring a bot to join the call, and also works as a standalone mobile app and Chrome extension, so it can be used for in-person conversations and events in addition to virtual meetings. JotMe integrates with major conferencing platforms including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Webex, and lets teams share transcripts, notes and audio in each member's preferred language. It is aimed at organizations running multilingual operations, from internal cross-border meetings to client calls, conferences and live events where language differences would otherwise create friction. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
