Trint is an AI transcription platform for journalists and researchers that converts audio and video to searchable, editable text.

About

Trint

Trint turns your audio and video into searchable, editable text—fast. Journalists love it because they can search hours of interviews for that one quote. The collaborative features mean teams can work on transcripts together, and you can export captions or even create basic video edits from the text. It's about making spoken content as easy to work with as a Google Doc.

But let's be clear—this isn't Final Cut Pro. The video features are secondary to the transcription powers. You can make rough cuts based on text, but you're not adding visual effects or doing color correction. It's a transcription platform with some video tricks, not a video editor with transcription. What's your main need: working with spoken content or creating visual stories? For full video production with transcription, combine automatic transcription with comprehensive editing tools and social media caption generation.

Riverside is a remote recording platform that provides local, clear audio/video—perfect for podcasters and interviewers.

About

Riverside

Riverside.fm solved the biggest problem in remote recording: crappy internet ruining your interview. It records locally on each person's computer, so even if the call gets choppy, your recording stays crystal clear. For podcasters and anyone doing remote interviews, it's a game-changer. Plus, you get separate tracks, AI transcription, and a basic editor to clean things up.

But don't mistake it for a full editing suite. The text-based editor is clever for cutting interviews, but you're not adding fancy graphics or complex effects here. It's purpose-built for capturing great remote conversations, not for post-production wizardry. The real question: is getting studio-quality remote recordings your main challenge, or do you need the full editing package? For complete podcast production, combine quality recording with automatic transcription and AI content idea generation.

Excellent customer support!! Was speaking with Olga who was very helpful and speedy in getting back to me. The issue had nothing to do with Trint itself, but an ex-employee of ours and Olga was quick to help and got it sorted.

We are a small company with a TRINT license - we were on a one year subscription - which we didn't use - for £3600. We emailed the company informing them that the sub ended at the end of Jan 2025 - back in May. We have now been told we haven't given 60 days notice to cancel - and they are now trying to charge £2000 for a product we don't use. Shocking customer service.

The software is so clean and easy to use. It makes you feel like a professional editor even when you are simply a layperson! There is enough 'stuff' to help professionalise your recordings without feeling overwhelmed and it's intuitive interface means that you can hit the ground running.

Poor poor poor. For the money they charge, there are always issues. We will be moving when our annual sub expires!! No native Windows version of the software is another joke.
