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 Supernormal

Supernormal is an AI meeting assistant that captures and writes up your conversations automatically. Instead of bots or a browser extension, it runs as a Mac or Windows desktop app that detects meetings on platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Slack Huddles, and can also record in-person discussions through your device's microphone. After each meeting it produces a transcript with speaker labels, an AI summary and action items, all searchable and organized into projects. Supernormal has expanded into agentic work: you can prompt it to draft documents, slide decks, spreadsheets and images that reference your meetings, then export to Google Drive or Microsoft Office. It connects to Google and Outlook Calendar, Gmail and Google Drive, and offers a Model Context Protocol server that pipes your notes into Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Its desktop app supports seven languages.
