Trint is an AI transcription and collaborative editing platform built for journalists, media production teams and enterprises that need searchable transcripts, translated content and newsroom-style collaboration on audio/video. It runs on seat-based Starter, Advanced and Enterprise subscription tiers with no permanent free plan, only a 7-day free trial with full Advanced-tier access and no credit card required.
Who builds it
Trint is built by Trint Ltd, a UK-based company originally founded by journalists. Users upload audio or video, get a time-coded, speaker-labeled transcript in Trint's online editor, and can then translate, summarize, tag and collaboratively edit it before exporting or publishing.
Core features
- Automated speech recognition in 40+ languages, with transcript translation into 50+ additional languages
- Time-coded, searchable transcript editor with speaker detection and support for common audio/video formats (MP3, MP4, M4A, AAC, WMA, AVI, WAV, MOV)
- Real-time multi-user collaborative editing with secure shared drives and granular access controls
- Generative-AI summarization for meetings, interviews and podcasts, plus custom dictionary support for names and jargon
- Newsroom-tool integrations (Mimir, AP ENPS, Octopus NRCS) and file-storage integrations (Dropbox, Google Drive)
- RESTful API plus SSO and SCIM support for enterprise identity management, with ISO 27001 certification
Pricing
- Starter: seat-based monthly subscription capped at 7 files/month with no rollover; exact list price is not consistently published on Trint's own site (its live plan selector requires an account) — third-party pricing trackers have reported figures in the roughly $80/seat/month range on annual billing
- Advanced: seat-based monthly subscription with unlimited files for a single user; third-party trackers report figures around $100/seat/month on annual billing
- Enterprise: custom pricing with API access, dedicated account management and advanced security/compliance features
- No permanent free plan — only a 7-day free trial with full Advanced-tier features and no credit card required
- Trint's own pricing requires visiting app.trint.com/plans or contacting sales for a current, authoritative quote before budgeting
Who it's for
Individual journalists or small teams with light, occasional transcription needs can evaluate Trint during its 7-day trial, but the lack of a free tier and per-seat billing make Starter suit only teams with modest, predictable file volume. Newsrooms and production teams needing unlimited transcription, deep collaboration and newsroom-tool integrations fit Advanced. Media organizations and enterprises needing API access, custom security controls or dedicated support should use the Enterprise tier.
