Do it yourself, or have it done.
Synchrogen offers audio description in two ways. Pick the one that matches how you work, and jump to its prices below.
00:01:00:00Editor · Do it yourself
A subscription, plus AI only if you use it.
Your editor bill has two parts. First, a monthly subscription for the software. Second, optional AI usage: if you let the AI draft descriptions, you pay per minute of video. Write everything yourself and you only pay the subscription. See the editor.
The full desktop editor for an individual describer. Works fully offline on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Start free trialFor studios and agencies. One seat is one person using the editor, so you pay for as many people as you have.
Start free trialAdded on top of either plan, only when you use AI generation to draft descriptions. No AI, no AI charge.
