Transcription & Editing with Descript

Edit Your Podcast Like a Document

Blubrry integrates with Descript so you can record, transcribe, and edit your audio or video using text, then send your finished media to Blubrry for publishing.

It’s a useful option if transcription is already part of your workflow or if you prefer editing through a transcript instead of a traditional audio timeline.

Connect Descript to Blubrry for seamless publishing.

With Descript, you can:

  • Record audio and video

  • Automatically create transcripts

  • Edit media by editing text

  • Make production changes

  • Multi Composition: Pull more than one recording into a project

  • Send completed media directly to Blubrry

Connect Descript to Blubrry Hosting or PowerPress to quickly upload and publish your edited podcast files.
