Descript adds drive-wide search, recording requests and AI voice that keeps your accent

At a glance

In its October 12 release roundup, Descript added a search bar covering your whole drive. Enterprise teams can ask someone for a recording without matching schedules, and new lines typed in your AI voice now keep your accent.

Key points

1. 1

   Type a name into the drive search bar to find projects, files and folders, and press Enter for a full results page.

2. 2

   You can also ask Underlord to find files, folders, projects and layout packs.

3. 3

   Send a recording request and the other person records when it suits them, with the footage coming back to you.

4. 4

   Requests can include instructions or a script for the other person to read.

Why it matters

Files are easy to find by name or by asking, and getting footage from busy people no longer requires lining up calendars.
