Description
Trint is an AI transcription platform built for journalists, newsrooms, and media teams, transcribing audio and video in 40-plus languages with speaker identification and translation into 50-plus languages. Its Story Builder tool lets a journalist drag quotes from multiple transcripts into a single narrative, turning raw interview tape into a structured draft without re-typing anything. Trint also supports live transcription for events like press conferences, and collaborative editing so a team can review and correct a transcript together.
Key Features
- 40+ language transcription — automated transcription with speaker identification across a wide language set.
- Story Builder — drags quotes from multiple transcripts into a single narrative or script.
- 50+ language translation — translates completed transcripts for international teams.
- Live transcription — transcribes press conferences and live events in real time.
- Collaborative editing — a team can review, correct, and comment on a transcript together.

How It Works
A user uploads an audio or video file, or connects a live feed for an event, and Trint transcribes it automatically with speaker labels. From there, the transcript can be edited directly, translated into another language, or exported as captions and subtitles with timecodes. Story Builder is aimed at the step after transcription: a journalist pulls specific quotes from one or several transcripts into a single working document, building a script or article draft without switching between source files. Teams can share a transcript for collaborative review, with comments and corrections tracked in place.
