About our organization:

Legitimate empowers journalists with innovative technology that enables them to thrive. We're committed to a future where journalism flourishes, illuminating impact, providing transparency, and fostering an informed, engaged, and empowered society.

How we can help you cover the 2024 elections:

Legitimate's suite of AI tools is designed to support journalists in many aspects of their work, from background research to optimization and reader engagement.

  • speech-to-text transcription, which will save journalists hours transcribing interviews with candidates, commenters, etc.
  • text-to-audio, to share stories with voters who may not be able/willing to access traditional text-based media. Giving an audio option increases accessibility and encourages participation in media from a more diverse audience.
  • a summary feature, to help with condensing in-depth election coverage into shorter snippets for readers to engage with and understand.
  • background and statistics tools to pull relevant sources on election information and support research into complex topics.
  • a social post generator, to create custom posts across social media, helping to drive engagement and access a wider audience.

All of the above tools are available in Spanish, offering a more inclusive approach to journalism and serving voters who have been traditionally left out when it comes to election coverage.

Here's a video overview.

What you should know:

Premium features cost $19.99 per journalist per month, but we offer significant discounts for small newsrooms. We also offer five tools completely free of charge for every journalist and newsroom (transcription, idea suggestions, headline optimization, social post generation, summary).
