Feature-by-feature comparison
What makes ngram different?
What ngram does better
Plan first, generate second
Review the script and storyboard before rendering. Fix direction early, iterate fast, and know exactly what you're getting before ngram builds the video.
Context-aware generation
Tell ngram your audience, goal, and channel. It adapts structure, pacing, and tone automatically—a LinkedIn launch isn't a Slack update, and ngram knows the difference.
Built from what you have
Start with text, images, PDFs, URLs, or screen recordings. ngram extracts what it needs and builds a coherent story—no recording first, no blank timelines.
Multi-format export with captions
Export in 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 with captions included. One video, optimized for YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Reels—no reformatting.
Easier to learn and use
ngram's AI-first workflow is intuitive from day one. Descript users report a steep learning curve with its feature-heavy, transcript-based interface.
What Descript does better
Transcript-based editing workflow
Edit video by editing the transcript. Delete a sentence, and the corresponding video segment disappears instantly—powerful for granular control over recorded content.
Voice cloning (Overdub)
Generate realistic AI voice clones of yourself. Fix mistakes or add new narration without re-recording—a unique feature for podcast producers and voice-heavy content.
Studio Sound audio enhancement
One-click AI that makes your audio sound like it was recorded in a professional studio. Industry-leading audio quality for podcasters and creators.
