The Trint Editor is the marriage of a text editor to an audio/video player: the transcribed text is “stitched” to the audio or video file, making it simple to search, verify and edit the machine-generated transcripts. Users can instantly time the length of their soundbites. They can…

Descript
I've recommended Descript many times as it has really helped me in my video production. In my experience, Descript is well suited for importing multi-cam footage and creating a script from the video / audio. Sharing the project file and having the client highlight key moments or sound bytes of interest. Exporting XML files to be opened up by video editing software and speeding up the process of finding files to creating a rough edit. If you are just using Descript for transcription, I think that is where it is less appropriate since there are many other services that offer this. Where Descript shines is: - adding content that sounds just like the original - being able to build the actual file with an editor - use AI to help clean-up words or add to - and more

It consequently translates sound from all record designs and produces a shareable and editable transcript. The interface of Trint is decent and works really hard in interpreting the content. It can also be used when taking an interview of an individual from a different language background. Here and there the record of certain dialects contains botches which are then rectified by the actual persons.

Cons
Descript
  • UX Performance. Because it's synced to the cloud, there can be some delay or lag in the UX when editing.
  • Editing Transcriptions. Machine-based transcriptions always need some post-editing. While Descript makes it pretty easy, I still think there is some room for improvement. For instance, I would like to be able to automatically update for all occurrences of a word after fixing it in the transcript.
  • Automatic importing of YouTube and hosted video files. I often have to download a video from YouTube to be able to import it into Descript. Would be nice to be able to just paste in the URL to the video and have Descript automatically import it.

Usability
Descript
It's pretty user friendly, has a easy-moderate learning curve. However during updates they do change the features in different panes / sections that make them harder to find. The text editor is near perfect, some of the other tools such as colour, templates, audio etc. are arranged in a slighlty less intuitive manner

Alternatives Considered
Descript
Descript is by far superior to the other editing software you can get on Apple computers. It's able to do a lot more and really save us tons of time. Other Adobe apps are great, but take a while to learn. Descript is very user-friendly, making it easy to start from day one with very little training.
