I hand type my scripts, then I use ScreenPal for audio & video recording and Voicemeeter Banana & Audacity for sound management, then create my videos in VSDC. That’s how I’ve been making videos for pretty much all 7+ years of my channel (tho my earlier videos didn’t use as much audio editing to remove problematic sound issues).
