When every second counts to meet tight deadlines, the last thing news broadcasters need is clunky workflows. Teams having to constantly switch back and forth between multiple tabs, apps and screens to get their work done just brings you a step closer to falling behind the competition. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

‍

Removing barriers to news production

‍

We’re excited to announce that Trint now integrates with leading news production system Octopus Newsroom to streamline workflows, enabling newsrooms to work smarter and faster.

‍

This means teams can easily transcribe audio and video, view + edit transcripts, and search for key quotes all within the Octopus NCRS platform - and without the frustration of jumping between endless screens!

‍

Lauren Ward, Managing Director at Trint, commented: “This integration marks our continued commitment to helping newsrooms work smarter and faster. We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with Octopus Newsroom and provide broadcast news teams with their favorite tools in one convenient place.”

‍

Gabriel Janko, COO and Sales Director at Octopus NRCS, added: "We are thrilled to partner with Trint to bring seamless, AI-powered transcription and content creation to our newsroom clients. This collaboration marks an exciting step forward in streamlining workflows and enhancing the efficiency of news production."

Supercharging broadcast news production

‍

Until now, newsrooms have needed to capture, transcribe and translate content in Trint, and then switch to Octopus Newsroom to build the story or package and create a rundown ready to broadcast. With this new integration, these processes now merge into one efficient workflow:

‍

• ‍Users can open Trint within Octopus Newsroom and access their account and transcriptions with all of Trint’s editing and collaboration features.

‍

• Add audio and video files in Octopus Newsroom to Trint with one click to start transcribing instantly - then search for key moments in seconds and add multiple quotes to a package in a click.

‍

• Trint quotes will appear in Octopus Newsroom stories including the source timecodes and speaker names, with functionality to jump back to the original transcript to amend or replace the quote when needed.

Trusted solutions serving newsrooms together

‍

This integration brings together two household media brands that play a critical role in the newsroom content workflow.

‍

Trint understands the news and media world because it was founded by an Emmy Award-winning reporter and war correspondent, Jeff Kofman. After a 30-year career with ABC, CBS and CBC News, Jeff created Trint to help speed up the cumbersome processes of transcription, translation and sourcing quotes – all through an AI-powered SaaS platform. 

‍

Octopus NRCS is the news production system that adapts to any workflow and environment. It streamlines the entire news production workflow from news gathering through planning and assignments, rundown creation, and digital publishing all the way to archiving and reporting. Octopus NRCS supports story-centric and traditional rundown-centric workflows, both in the cloud and on-prem.
