Descript’s Underlord is the AI assistant you didn’t know you needed—but once you try it, you won’t want to edit without it. Underlord intelligently automates the most tedious aspects of editing—cleaning up your transcript, removing filler words, trimming silences, and even offering clarity suggestions. It’s like having an editor who never sleeps.
Why Underlord Matters for Creators
Editing isn’t just time-consuming—it’s mentally draining. Underlord takes on the bulk of that mental load. It uses AI to:
- Detect and remove filler words like “um,” “uh,” “you know”: These edits clean up audio and video to sound more professional and polished.
- Shorten unnatural pauses: Keep your content tight and engaging by reducing awkward or long silences.
- Clean up rambling speech: Enhance clarity by trimming unnecessary repetition and meandering explanations.
- Highlight repeated words or phrases that affect clarity: Improve listener comprehension with fewer distractions.
Best of all, it presents these edits as suggestions. You stay in creative control but save hours of manual work.
Ideal Use Cases:
- Podcasters cleaning up interviews
- Video editors trimming presentations or webinars
- Course creators refining training modules
Real-World Example
Let’s say you recorded a 45-minute video podcast. Normally, editing out the verbal clutter would take 2–3 hours. With Underlord, most of that process is handled in minutes. You simply approve suggestions and move on to more creative tasks.
Pair Underlord with Overdub, and you can replace any errors or misstatements without re-recording a thing—just type the correction and the AI voice takes over.
