What they are

Swell AI

Swell AI ingests podcast episodes, YouTube videos, or audio files and generates transcripts, show notes, blog posts, social clips, and newsletters from a single upload. It targets podcasters and video creators who want to repurpose content without hiring a writer. The output quality is solid for first drafts but typically needs editing before publishing. A free tier exists with limited monthly credits.

Trint

Trint uses AI to transcribe audio and video files, then lets you edit the transcript as if it were a text document, with the media staying in sync. Journalists, podcasters, and video producers use it to speed up post-production and content repurposing. The transcript editor is genuinely well-designed, though the per-seat subscription cost makes it a harder sell for solo creators on a tight budget.
