As a person who generates a substantial amount of content in Castilian (castellano) —and who has reviewed Descript in the past, I am delighted to share with you that Descript has finally become multilingual. Now, Descript (beta) can transcribe in 22 languages, including two I speak fluently: Castilian and English. For those unfamiliar, Castilian is the most widespread of all official Spanish languages, of which there are now either six or seven. I have covered the surrounding situation and related coverup in some of my books, online radio shows/podcasts in in a recent indie song I produced. Catalán is another official language in Spain and in Andorra too. My CapicúaFM derives it’s name from Catalán compound word: cap-i-cúa. I plan to test and review these new Descript capabilities. Ahead is the full list of languages and how to get access to the beta and even a free trial.
For those unfamiliar, Descript auto-transcribes audio via voice-to-text, lets us manually correct/edit the text and have the audio reflect the corresponding changes instantly. Descript can now edit videos too (not just audio) the same way.
The full language list includes:
- Castilian (castellano, the most widespread of all official Spanish languages, worldwide. Castilian is the main language spoken throughout Latin America and the second language in the United States. This topic is also covered in some of my books including, The Castilian Conspiracy, La conspiración del castellano, my online radio shows/podcasts and bilingual indie song.)
- Catalán (another official language in Spain and Andorra, also covered in my books and radio shows)
- Croatian
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch

- Finnish
