I'm a very happy user of the free tier of Descript right now, and will definitely pay once my transcription limit is reached.
It seems like this particular product might do a better job of the automated editing specifically, but Descript has a ton of other features (speaker identification, transcription, real-time editing based on text edits, asset management, and uploads), and I definitely wouldn't trade them for marginally better auto-removal of noise and filler.
Does anybody who develops Cleanvoice have any commentary here?
Before building Cleanvoice, I tried to use Descript for my podcasts.
1) It doesn't work well if you have a strong accent. As an non-native speaker, the transcription were quite bad, making the editing quite bad.
2) Cleanvoice works with multiple languages, descript doesn't.
3) Cleanvoice can remove stutters (not always, but it tries) and mouth sounds like lip smacking, teeth clicking. Descript can't. This is not a big deal for most, but since I stutter alot this was essential.
However, if none of these apply for you. There is no reason to change from Descript.
