    • Transcription of internal presentations and web conferences. It's great for capturing and transcribing the audio from presentations, demos, etc. which can then be used to develop training materials, blog posts, etc.
    • Podcasts. Makes it really easy to record, edit, and publish video or audio podcasts.
    • Promotional videos. Streamlines and accelerates the process for developing videos.

    Thanks to this software we have been able to achieve that all the management of quality control and product life cycle, is carried in a more organized way, in a simple to use system, which does not have such a high learning curve and that everyone in the department knows how to handle it. One of the best software in its category.

    Pros
    descript
    • I like the sidebar - breaking my scripts up into different "chapters" makes it easier to create quickly.
    • I like that it auto-corrects punctuation, capitalization, etc. as I polish the scripts.
    • It's easy for my team and my collaborators to read/listen, remark, and create useable transcripts.

    Cons
    descript
    • When editing a transcript it can get a little cumbersome, as a double click doesn't always do what you think it will
    • Some features aren't that intuitive (what is resize word gap) for beginners
    • A tutorial/wizard as soon as you sign up would be very useful

    • The software is very complete, but it can become saturated with the many tools it has. If you have experience with Salesforce, it will be much easier for you to learn the program.
    • I would find it very useful if the system allowed to integrate other software, apart from Salesforce, so that we could have all the information from the same platform.
    • If the platform would allow local hosting or offline access to its control panel, it would make our work much easier, because sometimes the connection fails, and entering the system is impossible.

    I've had to reach out to them very few times over the years, but Propellerhead is prompt and professional when they provide support. The manual and videos for using the product are top notch, and that goes a long way in helping you learn how to use it to its full capacity

    Descript is by far superior to the other editing software you can get on Apple computers. It's able to do a lot more and really save us tons of time. Other Adobe apps are great, but take a while to learn. Descript is very user-friendly, making it easy to start from day one with very little training.

    One thing that sets Reason apart from other DAWs is its ability to be both a DAW and a sampler. Most other DAWs, Ableton included, need a third part sampler in order to actually write music, something akin to Kontakt, for example. Reason is all-in-one - you can do everything with one product and a single purchase.

    Return on Investment
    descript
    • I can get video completed much more quickly and cheaply
    • We can produce more video content because of the speed with which we can have a finished product
    • We can have shorter timelines for example I record on Monday and we publish on Tuesday which wouldn't be otherwise possible with other methods I've used
