Trint’s new Story Builder makes it even easier to handpick key moments from one or multiple transcripts and effortlessly craft them into a new narrative. This guide will explore the new Story interface and show you how it helps you create powerful content.

This support guide will cover:

First go to the Trint dashboard and click the “New Story” button in the navigation bar. If you are part of the Story Builder beta, you will have the option to try this new feature as shown in the image below.

You will now see our new Story interface, which has been designed to help you easily work between transcripts and your Story without needing multiple tabs on your browser. As before, you can rename the file by clicking “Edit” at the top of the page.

Trint’s new Story Builder offers more dynamic editorial tools to help you turn key moments from your transcripts into powerful content - all without leaving the Trint platform.

Any text you add to your Story can be formatted into different headings and styles such as bold, italics and underlined, much like other text document editors. This makes it easy to build an article around your quotes or add notes for a script or podcast outline.

To add quotes, you can now search for any transcript from your Trint library using the panel on the right-hand side.

Once you’ve found the Trint that you want to draw quotes from, click on it and you’ll see a simplified version of the transcript with any highlights included and a preview window to play back the original video or audio file

Find the quote you want to add to your Story, then copy the text by pressing Ctrl + C (or Cmd + C on a Mac) on the selection. Then paste it into the Story Builder on the left by using Ctrl + V (or Cmd + V on a Mac).

Repeat this process for every transcript you want to draw quotes from - helping you effortlessly combine key moments from multiple audio/video files with headings and text to make a powerful new narrative.

Every quote that’s added to a Story can be copied and pasted to easily rearrange quotes around your other headings and text.

Above each quote you will see the timecode from the source transcript indicating the start and end of the text. If you want to open the original file or delete the quote, just click on the icon to the left .

If you need to shorten a quote, you can edit it directly in the Story without needing to delete and re-add the quote from the transcript. This will also shorten the audio/video file to keep your playback in sync.

If you need to edit or remove the middle text from a quote, you can again do this without needing to go back to the transcript. Just press “Enter” in the place you want to cut and create two quotes, then remove the unwanted text.

At the very bottom of the screen you will see thumbnails for every quote you have added to the Story and the total duration of the combined audio or video. You can playback this at any time to hear your new narrative come together - a great feature for creating podcasts or video outlines.

You can delete any text using the “Backspace” or “Delete” keys, or you can delete an entire quote by pressing the icon on the left and deleting it.

When you’re ready to export, click the button at the top. In the current Story Builder beta version you can only export as a .docx file, but more formats (.edl, .m4a, and .xml) are coming soon. If you would like other file formats, let us know at support@trint.com.

Yes. Just click the “Share” button at the top and invite colleagues to edit, comment or view your Story file - with different permissions depending on how much access they need.

That feature is not available at the moment. Once the Live Transcription is completed, you can add the final transcript to a Story file.

You can undo actions using Ctrl + Z (Cmd + Z on a Mac) or pressing the “Undo” arrow in the top left corner of the document.
