Data Transfer Guide

Exporting from tl;dv requires manual download of each recording and transcript. Access your tl;dv dashboard, select recordings, and download MP4 video files and TXT/STR transcripts individually. Organize files systematically before importing to Trint. In Trint, use the upload interface to add video files—the platform will automatically transcribe them. For existing transcripts, you can upload text files separately and sync them with corresponding videos using Trint's editor. Note that tl;dv's automated summaries and clips won't transfer directly; you'll need to recreate these manually in Trint using its annotation tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from tl;dv to Trint?+

Yes, but not automatically. You must manually export video files and transcripts from tl;dv, then upload them to Trint for processing. Existing transcripts can be imported, but summaries and clips need recreation.

How long does migration take?+

For individual users, 2-4 hours. Small teams need 2-3 days including training. Enterprise migrations typically require 1-2 weeks for complete workflow transition and verification.

Will I lose any features switching to Trint?+

You'll lose tl;dv's automatic meeting recording integration and AI-generated summaries. However, you gain higher transcription accuracy, broader file support, and advanced collaboration tools in Trint.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Yes, run both tools in parallel during transition. Record new meetings in tl;dv while migrating old content to Trint. Gradually shift new recordings to Trint once your team is trained.

Is Trint cheaper than tl;dv?+
