Descript’s Research team builds the models behind the product’s most distinctive features: Video Regenerate and lipsync, video translation, zero-shot voice and roomtone cloning, and Studio Sound. We don’t build general-purpose generative models. We pick specific problems in the editing workflow and build specialized models for them. This isn’t research for its own sake. Everything we build is meant to ship, and most of it has, going from prototype to a production feature used by millions of creators within months.
