Trint, the AI-powered transcription service, closes $4.5M Series A

Funding Rounds

Summary

Counting some of the world’s largest media organizations as customers — including The Associated Press, Vice News, The Washington Post and Der Spiegel — Trint uses machine learning and speech-to-text technology to automate transcribing, which is a significant pain-point for journalists and other content producers, such as video makers. On that note, Trint says it will use the additional funding to enhance the AI transcription software and enable customers to extract more value from recorded audio and video and unlock what it describes as “the emerging voice economy.” Over the next few months, the company will launch collaboration features to suit the workflow of large teams working with audio and video. Trint will also release a new video player with interactive transcript features so recorded content can be “searchable, discoverable, and shareable” online. “We’ve created Trint to go far beyond automated transcription, building the world’s first enterprise product for managing the workflow of the spoken word,” says Kofman. “Trint is focused on serving the needs of video production, brands, news organizations and researchers, allowing them to unlock the value of the spoken word like never before.” Meanwhile, since launch Trint has grown from four to 45 employees.
