Trint

"Michael worked for 8+ years as a manual transcriber in the US and UK before building an in-house transcription department for a mobile-to-web software company. He then moved to content marketing, followed by digital marketing. Michael loves to write about emerging technology, digital trends and the ways technology makes our lives easier."

“Edge backs founders with purpose, and Emmy-winning former journalist and war correspondent Jeff Kofman is definitely a founder with a clear mission, said David Glick, CEO and Founder of Edge Investments. Seeing people transcribing interviews, speeches and news conferences in the 21st century the same archaic way journalists did in the 1970s, he realized that artificial intelligence (A.I.) and speech-to-text could do the heavy lifting of transcription. Spanning video, audio and the written word, Trint is a truly modern company solving a decades-old problem, and is poised to dominate its category.”

“It’s both humbling and exciting to have the most respected name in journalism join us. As a software tool for storytellers there couldn’t be a better match, said Jeff Kofman, CEO and Founder. Kofman, an Emmy-winning war correspondent, created Trint based on his 30 year reporting career with ABC, CBS and CBC News. We understand the need to find more efficient ways to work seamlessly across text, audio and video, and so does The New York Times Company. We’re excited to have The Times Company working with us as we define the new tools of the future for individuals and enterprise.”
