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 Proudfrog

Proudfrog, built by Proudfrog AB in Stockholm, is a meeting transcription and knowledge-base platform focused on Nordic languages. Instead of sending a bot to join a call, it records discreetly through its iOS and macOS apps, capturing in-person conversations as well as meetings on Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet. It then transcribes the audio in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, or Finnish and identifies each speaker by name, with voice recognition that learns participants across meetings. Beyond producing a searchable transcript, Proudfrog structures the content with AI: it extracts decisions and links people and projects across conversations so each meeting adds to a growing knowledge base. Users can search that archive by meaning, ask natural-language questions, and chat with their meeting history through an "Explore" feature. The company emphasizes Nordic-language accuracy, GDPR compliance, and data stored in Sweden. It is aimed at consultants, teams, and professionals working primarily in Scandinavian and Finnish languages rather than English.
