Frequently asked questions
Can I purchase additional transcription hours?
By default, the Descript Hobbyist plan has a monthly transcription limit of 10 hours per editor. The Descript Creator plan has a monthly transcription limit of 30 hours per user. This helps us moderate demand and ensure a fast turnaround for everyone
If you’re looking for a permanent change to your monthly hours, you can increase your transcription limit at $2 per hour here.
If you need a set amount of hours added to a given month, e.g., for a backlog of work coming through the pipeline, submit a request here and we can add hours as a one-time boost to your account at a rate of $2.50 per hour.
What if we want our full team to collaborate and provide feedback in Descript, but they don't need to edit?
Descript's Basic Seats are what you need. The Business plan includes free Basic members.
Basic members can view and comment on projects, use our screen recorder, and have limited editing permissions in a private workspace. It's ideal for those who need to be involved in the creative process but don't need full editing access.
Plus, you can easily upgrade Basic Seat members to Editors, giving them full editing capabilities as your project or team evolves.
Learn more about Basic Seats and how they make it easy to involve your entire team without adding cost.
The Hobbyist and Creator plans include Viewer members. They can view and comment on shared projects. They cannot create or edit projects on their own.
