Feature Requests

I'd like to export transcription data that I can use in an interactive transcript. i.e. A transcript where each word is highlighted as it is spoken in the audio (in the same way that words are highlighted as they are spoken in the Descript app itself). The VTT spec allows for Karaoke style cues: 1 00:16.500 --> 00:18.500 When the moon <00:17.500>hits your eye 1 00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:20.500 Like a <b><00:19.000>big-a <00:19.500></b>pizza <00:20.000>pie 1 00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:21.500 That's <00:00:21.000>amore Another option would be to export a JSON file that contains an array of words with a start_time and end_time value for each. Ideally you'd be able to export to both these options, and have some control over how the exported data is formatted. For example, should the current word in a line inside a VTT file be bolded.

I'd love to be able to provide a link to a youtube video and get a transcription so I don't need to download the video and upload it to Descript.

I'd love to have more transitions to choose from. At the moment I create all the transitions for B-rolls with Capcut cause they have a wider library. On Descript we just have a bunch of basic transitions.

It would be amazing if Descript could create a wizard to automatically remove mouth "clicks" just like you can auto remove "ums" and "ahhs" we see these an a different color on the timeline already. So perhaps you are already identifying them.

Ability to copy media on the script, and paste it on to a scene as B-Roll.

Many filler words that are automatically removed result in a harsh cut of the audio. I would like an option that only removes filler words that can be cleanly removed. For example, if the filler word has a pause between the start and end of it.

We need face smoothing effects, much like we can do on Zoom with Touch Up My Appearance. It can be very light, but it is still nice to have. Zoom has the best one I've seen so far, so I would love seeing at least that.

Add the ability to transcribe in multiple languages

I would like to have a sidebar option to list of all my markers. This way, I can have an outline of the composition and jump right to a specific marker to start working

Instead of looping, freeze, or stretch tracks to fill the scene.
