What it does

Trint is an AI connected media production and transcription platform designed for newsrooms, production studios, and sports media teams. Users input live broadcast feeds, microphone sound, or prerecorded audio and video files to generate accurate, timestamped transcripts with speaker identification. The platform outputs editable text, translations, summaries, article drafts, and rough cut timeline files ready for final editing.
