Descript is an AI tool designed to facilitate and revolutionize audio and video transcription, making it nearly instantaneous with industry-leading accuracy.

It also supports live collaboration, searches, and automatic speaker identification. A distinguishing feature of Descript is 'Underlord', an AI-powered editing assistant that aids creative processes.

The platform offers ease in video editing, likening the complexity to using documents and slides. It also supports multitrack audio editing, which is particularly useful for podcasting.

In addition, Descript aids in the selection of the best clips for the users through its AI capabilities, and it supports remote recording, allowing the creation of podcasts and videos regardless of location.

It provides automatic transcription with robust tools for correcting any possible errors. To extend the reach of the content, Descript also has a feature for adding subtitles with just a single click.

For further creativity, AI speech is available where users can create realistic voice clones or pick from stock AI voices. Additional features also include screen recording, translation, and various audio enhancements for improving the clarity and quality of sound.

It's important to note that the data within Descript is confidential, providing secure and private information handling. Descript supports transcription in 22 languages, broadening its accessibility and usefulness.

Prompts & Results

Neon Bleeds, City Breathes

Copy
Neon Tokyo alley at night, steady rain, photoreal and cinematic.
Subject: a street cat pausing on a crate, fur damp, catching cyan rim light, reflected in a puddle.
Scene elements: ramen lanterns, vending machines, stacked crates, kanji signage, utility cables, bicycles, sliding doors, wet asphalt with a round manhole.
Lighting and color: dominant magenta and cyan with warm amber from a noodle shop, reflections rippling in puddles, soft neon glow through rain.
Weather and surfaces: raindrop specks, fine mist, droplets on plastic crates, saturated asphalt, crisp speculars on metal and tile.
Composition: eye level down the alley, foreground puddle reflection of cat and lanterns, shallow depth of field with creamy bokeh.

Optics and capture notes:
โ€ข Keep a normal perspective so the alley reads true.
โ€ข Open the aperture wide to isolate the cat while signage dissolves into soft circles.
โ€ข Use a quick exposure to freeze the drizzle without losing neon reflections.
โ€ข Raise sensitivity moderately to hold detail in the shadows.
โ€ข Handheld at standing height, focus on the cat, gentle grain for a cinematic feel.

Rendering cues: steam drifting from a vent, neon edges on cables and sign borders, slight chromatic aberration on the brightest highlights.
Negative: no daylight, no dry ground, no excessive bloom, no cartoon style, no nonsense text on signs, no duplicates or warped limbs, no fisheye.
