PKPR coordinated a New York City media day for our London-based client Trint, a startup that has created the first automated transcription tool. Founder Jeff Kofman, a former on-air correspondent for ABC and CBS, met with New York reporters for interviews and demos of the product, which led to highly positive reviews and articles in Wired, Quartz, Digital Trends, Mediashift, and MediaFile.
Trint is an automated transcription tool that creates almost instant transcripts that can be quickly and easily edited for fast, accurate and affordable transcription. Backed by funding and support from the Knight Enterprise Fund, the Google Digital News Initiative, and BBC Worldwide Labs, Trint is the first service to combine a text editor and an audio/video player into one easy-to-use tool, making it possible to search recorded content by keywords, verify by re-listening to just that portion of an interview, and edit a transcript to perfection in minutes.
