Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A line item displayed as DESCRIPT* VIDEO AUDIO stems from Descript, Inc., a San Francisco-based multimedia software developer known for its automated audio and video editing software. This transaction indicates a paid Descript AI Video & Audio Editing Platform Subscription, enabling content creators or video producers to edit recordings simply by modifying generated transcript text. Alternative descriptors appearing on monthly bank statements include DESCRIPT INC, DESCRIPT.COM, or DESCRIPT EDIT. Comparable to video production platforms like Riverside.fm or Loom, Descript bills on a per-editor basis.
Unreviewed registry note: This debit typically appears when an ongoing monthly or annual subscription auto-renews. Descript offers tiers such as Creator, Pro, or Enterprise, typically billing between $19 and $35 per editor each month, or discounted annual packages. Extra charges can also occur if a team workspace added more collaborative seats, or if a user purchased additional transcription hours beyond their plan's monthly cap. If you or someone on your creative team signed up for a trial to produce video clips or podcasts, the account automatically transitioned into a paid plan when the trial expired.
