About Descript+

Descript lets you edit audio and video by editing the transcript, like a document. It also removes filler words, adds captions and records the screen. It is a good fit for nonprofits making podcasts, webinars, training videos or donor updates without a video editor. Eligible nonprofits get a discounted plan.

Pricing: Free plan includes 60 media minutes per month. Hobbyist is US$16/month, Creator US$24 and Business US$50 per month; the pricing page lists both monthly and annual rates, so check which applies to you. Annual billing saves up to 35%.
