Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 3 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers we grade
Trint transcribes uploaded audio and video in 50+ languages and lets teams edit, translate, summarize and caption the result in a shared workspace. Desktop and mobile apps add live transcription. Its pages are aimed at newsrooms, production companies, education and law firms rather than at recurring meetings.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Trint, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You upload, edit and export, but live capture and shared drives mean there is a setup to learn.

The report card
Best for newsroom transcription with live capture
Trint is a transcription and live-capture platform built for newsrooms, with translation and captions on top. But it costs $79 a seat a month billed yearly, has no free plan, and its unlimited transcription is fair use, so it is a lot of money for anyone who isn't a working newsroom.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | F | $79 a seat a month billed yearly, or $69 a seat on Team. The category's middle is $11.99, so this is more than six times that. Fair-use unlimited transcription is the only thing on the listing that offsets it. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. A 7-day trial needs no card, which is enough for one project. |
| Features | C | Transcription in 50+ languages, translation, captions, AI summaries and live transcription. But the listing says it is a media transcription product more than a meeting tool, and archive and bulk work are excluded from unlimited. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You upload, edit and export, but live capture and shared drives mean there is a setup to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with AP ENPS, Mimir, LiveU, Dropbox, Zapier and Zoom, and an API on Business. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Trint is for
- Fits if you work in a newsroom and need live transcription tied to AP ENPS or Mimir
- Works for editors who want one place to transcribe, translate and caption footage
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you're buying for yourself: $79 a seat a month, billed yearly
- Skip it if you want a meeting bot, since the pages only list Zoom as an integration
- Not for you if you want to stay free, as there's only a 7-day trial
- Watch out: Pro is for one user only, and archive or bulk projects need a quote
- Watch out: its pricing page would not load for us, so the figures come from the listing
Good to know
Good for
- Newsrooms and production teams transcribing interviews and footage
- Teams that need translations and captions from recordings
- Organizations that need live transcription of broadcasts or events
Worth knowing
- No free plan; there is a 7-day trial, and Pro is for a single user only.
- Annual prices are shown per seat; the pricing page does not show monthly-billed prices as text.
- Unlimited transcription is fair use, and archive or bulk projects are excluded and need a quote.
- It is a media transcription product more than a meeting-bot tool; the pages list Zoom only as an integration.

Keep it
Nothing Trint does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 5 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 61 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers grade higher. It costs $948 a year.
What you could not
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, AP ENPS, Mimir and LiveU among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Trint’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
