Descript / Speech inpainting

Audio Regenerate (UVM v2)

Zero-shot latent-inpainting model that regenerates speech spans to match the adjacent voice, delivery and room tone. It powers word-level audio editing in Descript.

Architecture
Continuous neural codec plus flow-matching transformer; masked audio latents generated in parallel, guided separately by transcript and surrounding audioSource for Architecture (opens in a new tab)
Languages
EnglishSource for Languages (opens in a new tab)

Current Regenerate editor workflow. Do not inherit the multilingual ElevenLabs TTS language list.

Context caching
Not collected
Supplied context limit
About 5–6 seconds of adjacent speech supplies voice contextSource for Supplied context limit (opens in a new tab)

An example of sufficient conditioning, not a maximum clip duration or a token window.

Maximum prompt characters
250 characters per Regenerate actionSource for Maximum prompt characters (opens in a new tab)

Editor limit for changing spoken words; not a published model architecture context size.

Audio codec design
DAC-derived continuous codec with roughly 4× temporal compression, semantic alignment and separate signal-power channelsSource for Audio codec design (opens in a new tab)

Original open-weight DAC is a separate model. PoDAR describes a representation method; its paper experiments are not product benchmark results.

Voice cloning
Zero-shot conditioning on the adjacent recording; no per-speaker model training needed by the inference methodSource for Voice cloning (opens in a new tab)

The editing app still requires an authorized custom AI speaker to change words. Technical zero-shot operation does not bypass product authorization.

Usage metering
Shared AI-credit allowance; exact feature cost depends on the operationSource for Usage metering (opens in a new tab)

Media imports/recordings use separate media minutes. Subscription credits do not roll over. A subscription price is not a per-inference rate.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID
Not collected

No standalone model API ID is published for this editing feature.

Access
Highlight recorded words and choose Regenerate. Replacing words requires the speaker’s authorized custom AI speaker; smoothing unchanged words uses the existing recording.
Regions
Managed service; exact model-processing region not verified
Maximum prompt characters
250 characters per Regenerate actionSource for Maximum prompt characters (opens in a new tab)

Editor limit for changing spoken words; not a published model architecture context size.

Languages
EnglishSource for Languages (opens in a new tab)

Current Regenerate editor workflow. Do not inherit the multilingual ElevenLabs TTS language list.

Input requirements
No stock voices for changing recorded speech. Selections cannot cross multiple edit points, scene boundaries or ignored text. Keep an already regenerated clip before editing it again.Source for Input requirements (opens in a new tab)

Stock-voice exclusion is independently documented in the change-meaning guide.

Billing basis
Manual effects scale with job size. Underlord charges separately for its agent reasoning and the tools it invokes; identical prompts can use different credit amounts.Source for Billing basis (opens in a new tab)
Included plan allowances
Hobbyist: 400 AI credits + 10 media hours per editor/month, Creator: 800 AI credits + 30 media hours per editor/month, Business: 1,500 AI credits + 40 media hours per editor/month, Free: 100 one-time AI credits + 1 media hour/month; limited feature trialsSource for Included plan allowances (opens in a new tab)

Editor seats contribute to a shared Drive pool. Enterprise has custom allowances. Plan limits and export resolution are not model context/output limits.

Rate conditions

  1. Shared editor subscription including credit/media allowances and other features; AI operations consume credits. Not a flat per-model or per-question price.
  2. Monthly-equivalent shared subscription with annual commitment. Included monthly credits do not roll over. Not an independent inference tariff.
  3. Creator/Business only. Shared across the Drive, expires 12 months after purchase, consumed after monthly allowance. Credit cost of an operation varies; do not convert this into a universal media-minute rate.

Data & enterprise terms

Descript help states that production models use no Descript user data; internal research/development uses data only from users who opted in. Enterprise data sharing is disabled by default. Partner agreements prohibit using submitted data to train partner AI. This is not a blanket zero-retention promise; project storage and deletion have separate policies.

API model ID
Not collected

No standalone model API ID is published for this editing feature.

Access
Paid Descript users can ask Underlord to edit a project. This is agent-orchestrated access, not a dedicated or pinned media-model endpoint.
Regions
Managed service; exact model-processing region not verified
API endpoint URL
POST https://descriptapi.com/v1/jobs/agent; poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}Source for API endpoint URL (opens in a new tab)
Authentication
Authorization: Bearer personal token, scoped to a Drive and inheriting its permissionsSource for Authentication (opens in a new tab)
Request limits
Supply exactly one of project_id or project_name; optional composition_id requires project_id. Callback URL supports completion/failure notifications.Source for Request limits (opens in a new tab)
Model routing
model selects the editing agent’s LLM, not this media model. GET /agent/models is authenticated and dynamic; documentation examples are not the full available catalog.Source for Model routing (opens in a new tab)
Request quotas
On HTTP 429 respect Retry-After; response also exposes remaining/consumed quota headers. No numeric fixed quota collected.Source for Request quotas (opens in a new tab)
Billing basis
No additional API access fee for paying users; operations use the account’s AI credits and media minutes. Agent reasoning and the tool are both metered.Source for Billing basis (opens in a new tab)

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Descript identifies its media-editing models as proprietary and reserves service/model rights. The record is a documented proprietary model generation or explicitly labeled managed enhancement family; project-page code is not released model weights. Separately downloadable DAC and Mouse research weights are excluded.
