Description
Descript Overdub is an AI voice cloning feature within the Descript audio/video editor that creates a synthetic version of a user's voice for editing spoken content without re-recording. The technology enables text-based audio editing where users can type to add or modify speech in their own voice or approved voice models. With enterprise-grade security and ethical constraints, Overdub transforms the audio editing workflow by making text-based modifications sound natural and indistinguishable from original recordings.
