It would be very nice if the default settings could be edited for uploading videos to youtube. Otherwise, there is several minutes of clicking around in youtube for each video one uploads and you might foget!) Needs to Include: Tags, Publish to subscriptions feed and notify subscribers (this should on in everyone's default actually), Video Category & Game Name Nice to Have: Playlist (might be hard to integrate), Monetization Setting (might be hard to integrate)

There are words and names of companies that I use frequently in podcasts. I would love the ability to "teach" the transcription engine to recognize words, names, or phrases. Example: I host a podcast called the Modern Financial Advisor Podcast by Truelytics. Your transcription tool translated that to "modern angel adviser podcast by true Linux"

At some point, Descript added an "inline notes" feature, such that anything entered between (parentheses) in a transcript is treated as a "note". This means it is not possible to actually use parentheses as punctuation marks in a transcript (in those cases where your subject makes a parenthetical remark, like this). Yes, sometimes you can swap out parentheses for other punctuation like commas or em-dashes. But what about when parentheses appear in the proper, official names of things, such as the 401 (k) retirement plan common in the U.S.? This is extremely damaging to our workflow, and, while I assume you have stats telling you that only 0.1% of your customers use parentheses, they are a common form of punctuation mark, and we need a way to actually use them in transcripts!

I'd like to be able to add ID3 tags to podcast files Title Artist Album Track number copywrite....

Set a clip to play faster or slowed (maintaining audio pitch)

Every so often the (automatic) transcription skips a section or two or sometimes fails completely. It would be useful to have the option to re-transcribe a file without having to upload the file again and then transcribing.

Add the ability to transcribe in multiple languages

Record Webcam and Screen on different layers in the same Screen Recording, like Screenflow

is there really no way to pause a screen recording? that's such a basic feature! In Loom we can pause while we enter a credit card, or to take a sip of water, or to take phone call. So we're using Loom to record and then importing into Descript for editing and transcription. It would be such a better workflow if we could pause while recording in Descript.

In our podcast there's common acronyms and Japanese names that we use that Descript doesn't understand. I wonder if I were to allowed to edit or add to Descript's dictionary if that could solve my problem.
