Dear Descript Team,

As a user who needs Hebrew support in your excellent text-based editing software, I urge you to add right-to-left (RTL) capabilities.

Hebrew (and other RTL languages like Arabic) requires proper text alignment for transcription and captions, which isn't currently supported.

This isn't just a niche request—it's a massive opportunity: ~660 million native RTL speakers worldwide, including 9 million Hebrew speakers in Israel.

~1 billion total RTL speakers, with 400-600 million potentially monolingual and reliant on RTL tools to make content.

This represents about 13% of the global population and includes major economic hubs like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

Podcast/audio markets in Israel ($364M in 2025 - https://www.statista.com/outlook/amo/media/music-radio-podcasts/israel) and the Arab world (https://www.podcastinc.io/post/podcast-industry-in-the-arab-world) are booming, with potential for $2-5M+ in new ARR for Descript via 10,000-20,000 subscribers.

Adding RTL could boost your ~$30M revenue (according to google) by ~10%+ while serving underserved creators.

I'd love to discuss further or become a beta tester!

Best of luck, David
