Comparison
txscribe vs Trint, for interviews you'll quote
Trint is built for newsrooms: a flat fee for what it calls unlimited transcription, teams, live and mobile, and a way to mark each paragraph as checked. If that is how your organisation works, it does things we don't.
If you're one person transcribing interviews and checking them yourself, the table sets out where the two differ — most of all in price, file length and languages.

Time included
txscribe
Pro: 30 hours a month. Without an account: one recording, up to 10 minutes.
Longest recording
txscribe
Up to 8 hours per file on Pro. Without an account, the first 10 minutes of one recording.
Trint
Its help centre asks for files under 3 hours and 3 GB; larger ones can be uploaded but are very likely to stall. Source
Languages
txscribe
82 languages (110 regional variants in the picker). Speaker labels offered in all of them — in 96, only on recordings of up to 2 hours, and not where that pass fails.
Speaker names
txscribe
Speakers come back numbered. Rename one once and every line follows; names you have used before are offered again.
Exports
txscribe
TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, Final Cut Pro captions, Premiere Pro markers, transcripts for NVivo, MAXQDA and ATLAS.ti, and JSON, on every plan, including Free. Up to 100 transcripts at once as one ZIP, and the audio or video file you uploaded can be downloaded again.
Translation
txscribe
A translated copy of the whole transcript, on every plan.
Trint
Unlimited translation into "70+ languages" on every plan. Source
Custom word list
txscribe
Up to 1,000 names and terms, on every plan.
Checking against the audio
txscribe
Words come back with timestamps: click any line to jump to that moment in the recording. A line you correct keeps its paragraph's timing rather than per-word timing. Answers to questions about a transcript link to the moments they came from.
Training on your recordings

Where Trint is the better choice
- A lot of recording, one price. Pro and Team: "Unlimited" transcription under a fair-use cap that excludes archival projects and bulk volume. Free: a 7-day trial on 3 files; a help article written for an older plan says only the first 5 minutes of each is transcribed. Sources 1, 2 Our Pro plan has a monthly allowance.
- Signing off a transcript. The text darkens as each word is spoken and clicking jumps the audio there; a tracker lets you mark each paragraph as verified. Sources 1, 2 txscribe has nothing that records what you have already checked.
- Recurring speakers. Automatic speaker detection on every plan, chosen at upload; for all users, speakers you name can be recognised in later files by voiceprint, in English, French and German. Sources 1, 2, 3, 4 We give you numbers and make renaming fast.
- Live and on the phone. Mobile apps for iOS and Android and live transcription: one hour a month on Pro, one hour per seat a month on Team. Sources 1, 2 txscribe can show live captions while you record in the browser, but the transcript you edit comes afterwards.
- Newsroom teams and security. Team is for 2 to 5 people, with shared drives. Source Its compliance page says it is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Sources 1, 2 txscribe has shared workspaces on every plan — invite people as admins, editors or viewers, and comment on transcripts together — but no team billing: there are no seats or pooled minutes, each member transcribes on their own plan, and there is no single sign-on. txscribe has no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification.
What txscribe doesn't do well
- Speaker labels stop at 2 hours in 96 of our 110 language variants: there a separate pass labels the speakers, and a longer recording — or one whose pass fails — comes back without labels and says so, with no speakers to rename.
- A recording that switches language partway may come back translated rather than transcribed — or not at all — and nothing marks it as missing. Name the main language instead of leaving it on automatic.
- Summaries do not point back to the moment each line came from. Answers to questions do.
