Guide
Login to your Descript account and click New Project.
You can import your file by clicking here to upload it.
You can also paste a link to your media, record your own audio directly in Descript, or import content from Zoom.
After importing your media (audio or video file), Descript will transcribe it.
Hover over the speaker label (e.g., "Speaker 1"), click on it, and you can rename the speaker to something like "John" or "Sarah."
If you want to add a new speaker, you can click on the speaker icon (usually next to the speaker label) and select "Create new speaker."
You can add a new speaker by entering the name.
