The Descript Beta Program

The Descript beta program provides users with early access to new features and the chance to discuss them directly with Descript's creators, giving them the opportunity to shape the direction of the product.

We're looking for beta testers who will take the time to give us detailed feedback - both on their experience using new features, and filing bug reports.

It is important to note that Descript beta is a non-production version of the application and as such may contain features that will change or possibly removed from the development pipeline altogether. Additionally, beta software may contain cosmetic or functional errors that could impact your production. It is recommended that the beta application not be used in mission critical production environments in order to minimize any chances of impact to your production work.
