Simpler workflow, better value

If you want predictable pricing and a simpler, transcription-first workflow, Hear2Text is a great alternative to Trint.

Trint is built for newsrooms and it shows: a strong collaborative editor, story workflows, live transcription and a team around the transcript. The price is the heavy part: Pro is $100 per seat a month, or $79 billed annually, for unlimited transcription in 50+ languages.

Hear2Text is the Trint alternative for people who mostly need the words, at a lower price: $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year buys unlimited transcription in 100 languages, with translation, AI summaries, speaker names and TXT, SRT, VTT, Word and PDF exports included. Start on the free plan, 120 minutes every week, no credit card. Teams share transcripts in free workspaces with roles, while Trint keeps the edge in collaborative editing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does accuracy compare to Trint?
Both use modern AI models. Trint does not publish an accuracy figure; with clear audio, ours is typically 95-99%.
Is this suitable for enterprise teams?
We do not sell an enterprise tier or negotiate custom contracts. Everyone is on the same $9.99/month or $89.99/year plan with unlimited minutes and a fair-use ceiling of 1,200 minutes a day. Teams work together in free shared workspaces with admin, editor and viewer roles; Trint goes further with its collaborative editor and story workflows.
What about Trint's advanced editor?
We focus on transcription. You can export files for advanced editing workflows as needed.
Can I import Trint transcripts?
Export them from Trint and keep them alongside your project files; there is no transcript importer here. For new work, upload the audio or video, or paste a link, and Hear2Text transcribes it from scratch.
Do you offer annual discounts?
Yes. The yearly plan is $89.99, about 25% less than paying monthly, which works out to roughly $7.50 a month.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Trint?
Yes. Hear2Text is $9.99 a month, against $100 per seat a month on Trint Pro ($79 billed annually). There is also a permanent free plan at 120 minutes a week, so you can compare the transcripts before paying anything. The price does not change with how much you record, and there is nothing to negotiate.
How many free minutes do I get?
120 minutes every week, resetting each Monday, with no credit card. Free accounts get speaker labels, export to TXT and run one file at a time, while translation, summaries and speaker names come with the paid plan.
Is transcription really unlimited?
Yes. The $9.99/month and $89.99/year plans have no hour cap. Fair use is the only ceiling: 1,200 minutes of audio a day, with five transcriptions running at once.
What is the best Trint alternative for journalists?
For interview-heavy reporting, look for unlimited minutes and speaker labels rather than a story editor. Hear2Text transcribes in 100 languages and labels who said each line on every plan; the paid plan lets you name the speakers, translates a foreign-language interview into your own language, and exports to Word or PDF for filing. A long day of tape costs the same $9.99 a month as a quiet one.
Do I pay extra for translation?
No. Translation is included in the $9.99/month and $89.99/year plans rather than billed as an add-on, with no per-file or per-language fee. Translate a transcript into any of more than 60 languages; downloads from the web app, including SRT, VTT, Word and PDF, stay in the recording's language. The free plan does not include translation.
