What they are

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.

Happy Scribe

Happy Scribe converts audio and video files into accurate transcripts and subtitles using automated speech recognition or human transcriptionists. Journalists, podcasters, researchers, and video creators use it to save editing time and make content accessible. The automated tier is affordable and quick, though accuracy drops noticeably with heavy accents or low-quality recordings, making human transcription the safer choice for high-stakes work.
