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 Lingopal

Lingopal is an AI translation platform that converts spoken audio into other languages in real time while transcribing and captioning it. Its core technology performs speech-to-speech translation with voice cloning that preserves the original speaker's tone and emotion, alongside live captions and editable transcripts. Beyond its main use in live broadcast and streaming (sports, news, events), Lingopal offers a "Rooms" product that turns meetings into multilingual conversations with live voice translation for one-on-one and group settings, and a separate Call product (call.lingopal.ai) that translates phone calls in real time with live transcript and audio. The platform supports a large set of languages (over 100 across its products, with a smaller subset on the call product) and ingests common broadcast formats such as RTMP, HLS, SRT, and MP4, plus API-based workflows. Typical glass-to-glass latency is roughly 2.5 to 4 seconds. It targets broadcast teams, networks, educational institutions engaging ESL students and parents, faith organizations, and enterprises needing cross-language voice communication.
