What is Trint?
Trint is an AI transcription and media workflow platform that transcribes, translates and edits recordings for journalists and content teams. It was founded in London by a former journalist and is used by media organisations such as POLITICO, the San Francisco Chronicle, AFP and BILD.
Trint is built around the newsroom workflow rather than meetings: you can transcribe live from a camera or phone, verify quotes against the audio, build a rough cut with Story Builder and export to media asset managers. It transcribes 50+ languages, translates into 70+, and does not train on user transcripts. Reporters, producers, video teams and communications departments use it for interviews, press conferences, captions and fast turnaround stories.
