Trint

What Trint does

Trint turns audio and video into searchable transcripts that teams can use to develop articles, podcasts and video stories. Its workflow connects the written words to the recording, so a producer can locate a quote and return to its source. It suits journalists reviewing interviews, podcast producers selecting segments and production teams organizing footage before a final edit.

Review transcripts with colleagues

Upload a recording, select its language and open the result in Trint Editor. The transcription tools let you search and correct text, review timecoded passages and highlight quotes. Playback helps you check what a speaker actually said. Comments and sharing allow colleagues to discuss selections in the same working transcript instead of passing separate notes around.

For podcast work, Trint documents synchronized text and audio playback, with highlights and comments for identifying useful moments. A transcript can therefore serve as the working reference for both the producer choosing material and the editor retrieving the corresponding audio.

Build a story and hand it to an editor

Story Builder brings selected passages into a new sequence. You can reorder clips, add headings and editorial text, then play the assembled story to hear or watch the selections in order. Source timecodes remain useful when an editor needs to find the original material.

Trint's export documentation lists DOCX for written material and EDL or XML for moving stories into an editing workflow. Caption exports include SRT, VTT and STL. Export options differ between transcripts, stories and caption files, so choose the output for the next production step. Story Builder prepares a rough cut; finishing the sound, picture and other production details remains an editing task.

Find material with AI Assistant

Trint's AI Assistant can identify topics and quotes, summarize a transcript and answer questions about the material. Its quote suggestions provide jumps to the relevant transcript passages, where you can highlight, comment or select material for Story Builder. This is useful for locating an interviewee's response to a particular subject. Review generated summaries and proposed quotes against playback before using them in a published story.

A concrete interview workflow

A podcast producer could upload two guest interviews, review the transcripts and correct names or technical terms while listening. The producer highlights passages about a shared topic and asks a colleague to comment on the strongest selections. In Story Builder, they arrange those passages into an opening, explanation and closing, adding notes where narration is needed. After playing the sequence to check context and transitions, they export the story for the audio editor. A video team can use the same selection process to prepare a rough cut and export captions separately.

Limitations and paid access

The web app produces a transcript in one language, while Trint documents language switching for its live transcription app. Trint also states that uploaded transcription does not accept video links such as YouTube URLs; prepare a supported file. These distinctions matter when working with multilingual interviews or material stored on video platforms.

Trint is a subscription service with a trial described on its official site. Review the current plans for pricing and access, and confirm the features your team requires.
