“Trint has already struck a chord with thousands of users looking to work seamlessly across audio, video and text, Matthew Lloyd-Thomas, Senior Manager of M&A and Investments at The New York Times Company, said. Audio and video are increasingly important mediums, and we’re excited to see Trint play a leading role in this evolving ecosystem.”
"Even a 20-minute interview takes up to two hours to manually transcribe and with 3-5 interviews per story, Trint is a huge timesaver."
"I don't endorse many products - but not many help journalists like Trint. Transcribes video. Load it up- sit back, jaw-dropping."
"I've actually produced more content because I've got a longer amount of time to do it."
"Manual transcription was taking around 4-5 hours per item on average. Trint can do that - and with more accuracy - in less than 20 minutes."
“We are really excited to have The New York Times and Edge joining our investment team, said Jeff Kofman, CEO and Founder of Trint and an Emmy-winning broadcast journalist and war correspondent. Over the last year Trint has evolved from startup to scaleup and we know it’s critical to have professional investors helping us navigate through an exciting but complex high-growth phase. The breadth and depth of their expertise, as well as their networks in the sector, will really help us grow Trint in 2021 and beyond.”
“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.”
