Starting a Trint Live

Download the Trint mobile app free for iOS and Android and log in using your Trint credentials. To start a live transcription, tap the yellow button with a microphone icon at the bottom of the home screen and select the “Trint Live” option.

Now set up your live settings and when you’re ready tap “Go Live”.

Choose the language your transcription will be spoken in or enable Trint’s Auto Language Recognition feature to detect multiple languages in real time (available for custom plans – speak to sales@trint.com if you want to add this functionality)
Select a save location for the transcript such as a Shared Drive – making it seamless for collaborators to jump in and review the live transcript on any Trint platform (web, desktop or mobile).
Be aware that once you’ve started the Trint Live you can’t change your configuration options, so be sure you’ve carefully reviewed your setup choices

Controls and settings

After loading on screen, the Trint mobile app will begin capturing audio using your phone’s microphone, so be sure to point your phone towards whoever is speaking.

It may take a few seconds for the transcription to appear, but you can be sure that audio is being recorded by watching the waveform bar animate at the bottom of your screen.

Once a Mobile Live Transcription has started, you can change the file name by tapping the icon at the top of your screen and entering a new name.

The controls at the bottom of the screen allow you to control your Trint Live:

You can pause the live transcription by pressing on the yellow button and start it again with a second press.
Tap the “device” button if you want to use an external microphone to capture audio
If a memorable moment happens during capture you can tap the “bookmark” button to tag your transcript and easily jump back to this point again

When your event has ended, tap the “Stop” button to end your Trint Live. Once stopped you will be taken to the mobile Transcript Editor to playback and review your transcription.

Collaborating on Trint’s web app

Once a Trint Live transcription has started, anyone with access will be able to rewind and play-back audio in the Trint Editor, as well as verify text and edit if needed.

This works in the same way as any other transcript, with tools to highlight, comment and change speaker names all while the transcript is coming through. Any changes made to the transcript in the web app will be shown in the mobile app in real time.

If your file isn’t saved in a Shared Drive, or you want to share this live transcription with someone outside of your Shared Drive, you can add a collaborator by tapping the the icon with a "+" next to it in the right top corner.

You can then fill in the recipient details on the pop up screen (if saved in a Shared Drive, anyone who has access will already be able to open this Trint Live)

If the Trint mobile app loses signal, Trint Live will continue capturing and transcribing audio from the phone. So even though the transcript may stop momentarily on the web app, you can be confident everything will catch up again when they get reconnected.
