Descript 7.0 introduces Overdub Pro, a voice cloning tier that preserves speaker tone, cadence, and pacing during text-based audio edits — so fixing a flubbed sentence sounds like you, not a robot reading your script. The update also ships an AI scene detector that auto-segments long-form video into labeled chapters. Together, these features push Descript closer to a complete post-production workflow for podcast and video creators.
