Trint

Newsroom and editorial teams

Trint was built for newsrooms and you can feel it — the Story Builder lets reporters stitch quotes into article drafts, collaborative editing is genuinely team-aware, and live transcription handles press conferences cleanly. Cost is steep: ~$80/seat Starter and $100/seat Advanced, annual billing required. Right tool for editorial teams; wildly the wrong tool for solo podcasters.

Trint is a transcription and editorial platform purpose-built for newsrooms, journalism teams, and media production houses that turn long interview audio into publishable stories. The product covers the full workflow: AI transcription in 50+ languages with speaker labels and timestamps, a collaborative editor where reporters and editors can search/highlight/comment on transcripts, live transcription in 30+ languages for press conferences and breaking news, translation into 54 languages, and the Story Builder feature that lets you assemble multiple quotes and timestamps into article drafts or podcast outlines. API integrations into CMS systems and desktop/mobile apps for live capture round out the offering. Pricing is firmly enterprise-leaning: Starter at about $80/seat/mo (7 files/month, annual billing), Advanced at about $100/seat/mo (unlimited files, single user), and custom Enterprise. There's a 7-day free trial but no permanent free tier in 2026. A 3-person editorial team easily lands at $250-$350/mo before add-ons. G2 ratings around 4.2/5 in early 2026 highlight the collaborative editor and story-stitching workflow as the standout praise; complaints cluster around the steep price escalation. Best for newsrooms, journalism teams, documentary producers, content agencies billing clients. Wrong tool for solo podcasters and casual users — Sonix, Happy Scribe, or Brass Transcripts handle those workflows for less.
