Introduction

Dscript, a transcription and audio editing tool, is releasing its biggest product update of the year. This new release, called "Season One," focuses on non-randomly shipping bigger groups of features on a schedule every three months. Whether You're a podcaster, screen recorder, video editor, or need transcription services, Dscript has something exciting for everyone in this release.

Studio Sound – Improving Audio Quality

Studio Sound, an AI-Based feature, is Dscript's take on noise reduction and audio enhancement. It goes beyond basic noise reduction and includes features like echo removal and EQ adjustment to make mediocre recordings sound like they were recorded in a professional studio. After receiving positive feedback during the beta release, Studio Sound is now graduating from beta with added improvements. Users can easily turn it on as a default setting for new recordings and fine-tune its intensity to achieve the desired effect. Studio Sound alone makes Dscript a valuable tool for improving audio quality.

Full Effects Suite

Dscript now offers a full effects suite with over a dozen effects available in the app, such as parametric EQ, de-esser, noise gate, reverb, distortion, and flanger. These effects fill the gap that many users felt was missing in Dscript's earlier versions. Users can add effects directly from the composition inspector, choose from handy presets, and have the flexibility to Apply effects to an entire track or specific clips. This enhancement allows Dscript to provide the level of audio tuning found in conventional audio editors.

Overdub Enhancements

Overdub, one of Dscript's most popular features, allows users to convert Typed words into audio that sounds like their own voice. In this release, Dscript introduces significant improvements to voice quality, eliminating wobbliness issues that affected many voices since launch. Moreover, creating an overdub voice has been made easier. Previously, users had to Read a script to train their voice, but now any pre-existing recording can be used as a training reference. Users can even utilize recordings made within Dscript itself, further enhancing the flexibility and convenience of this feature.

Editor Enhancements

Dscript has made several improvements to its editor to enhance the user experience. The composition inspector has been redesigned, making it more visually appealing and user-friendly. Knobs and fields have been improved, and new properties have been exposed. Additionally, a dedicated inspector for transitions allows users to add or adjust fades and dissolves without the need to navigate to the timeline continually. The introduction of a Minimap for navigating between clip properties and transitions further streamlines the editing process. Drag and drop functionality has been enhanced, Pin offset is less confusing, and users can now copy and paste attributes between clips, all contributing to a more efficient editing workflow.

Faster Sharing and Exporting

Dscript has prioritized speed improvements in this release. While making a screen or webcam recording, the video now starts uploading simultaneously, guaranteeing that the video is ready to share as soon as the recording is finished. Exporting files has also become significantly faster, with heavily edited 30-minute videos becoming ready for export within minutes. This change positions Dscript as one of the fastest when it comes to export speeds, marking a notable improvement in user experience.

Interactive Searchable Transcript

Dscript has introduced an interactive searchable transcript to its embeddable player. This feature allows users to navigate and search videos using the script itself. It has native integration with Slack, allowing videos to play directly within the messaging platform. Furthermore, Dscript is releasing a Slack app that enables users to receive notifications within Slack. The interactive transcript adds a new dimension to video viewing, making it easier to skim through bug reports, navigate presentations, or find specific moments in instructional videos. This feature has revolutionized the way Dscript's team watches videos and guarantees an enhanced viewing experience for all users.

Conclusion

With this significant product update, Dscript demonstrates its commitment to delivering valuable features and enhancements to its users. The focus on improving audio quality through Studio Sound, introducing a full effects suite, enhancing the overdub feature, improving the editor, streamlining sharing and exporting, and introducing an interactive searchable transcript all contribute to making Dscript a comprehensive and user-friendly tool. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Season Two, which will focus on video editing and exciting new additions to the platform.
