Trint
A transcription platform with a text based editor built originally for journalists that some podcast teams use for transcript driven cuts.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
Trint began as a transcription tool built for journalists working against deadlines, and it has grown to include story editing features and text based audio and video trimming layered on top of its transcripts.
It fits newsrooms and larger podcast operations that already rely on Trint for interview transcription and want editing folded into the same workflow rather than exporting to a separate tool.
The pricing reflects that professional orientation, individual plans run higher than many transcript editors aimed at solo creators, and the best value shows up at team and enterprise tiers.
For a hobbyist show, it's likely overkill and overpriced, but for a media organization producing several shows with existing transcription needs, the combined workflow can genuinely save time.
