I've always liked the idea of Descript and was considering building something similar before it came out. The problem is my use case is a couple of videos a year so doesn't fit with an expensive monthly subscription

If you're trying to get attention, copy should be clear to all readers. The fact that you did not misread it in no way demonstrates that others won't. And why the rude response?
You're being insecure. It's not rude to disagree. Also, there's often no perfect combo of words, there's a spectrum of options and you just pick an operating point. Transcription is a longer word than "word" so there's a tradeoff. It doesn't feel like a chasm to me.
I remember when Adobe demoed this idea of being able to edit waveforms by the recognized text back in 2016 and it was pretty mind blowing for the time. https://youtu.be/I3l4XLZ59iw EDIT: I could also definitely see Audapolis being useful if you could integrate it into a podcast's post processing flow (volume normalization, de-essing) by recognizing certain verbal tics and automatically removing them from the audio su…
What ever happened to that Adobe demo? Was that a real product at any point? It's quite amazing how ahead of its time it was. Now that we have AI making people say whatever we want, it felt like Adobe was on the cusp of that then.
And here I was expecting that I could edit the text and the app would change the audio file to say what I had typed...
I think I just lack experience in this area. I've used Audacity to cut out parts of audio / splice together two clips and that's about it, so I clearly don't have enough background to understand what this tool does.
Can someone clarify what this tool does, please? :)
A number of comments turned me onto Descript -- made a similar comment on another audio thread recently: drives me absolutely insane how all audio tools with any AI are web based monthly saas instead of offline private gpu upfront purchase.

I remember people saying at the time that “this is the point at which voice recordings can not be trusted any longer”. And then, like you said nothing happened kind of for a few years until the current AI/ML tech got to where it is currently at.
Maybe there's not much value in editing what someone said after all
This really needs a video demo or at least a more in depth text description of the features. Will download later to try but curious does this just do simple hard cuts on audio text or is there any ai magic for blending sentence timing if that makes sense?

Somewhat off-topic: I saw the funding note at the bottom - it’s pretty cool that the German government is giving some funding to projects like this. I wonder how much the US is doing in that regard, like if there’s a list of projects that tax dollars goes towards.
