HappyScribe is a transcription, subtitling, and translation platform that handles audio and video in 120+ languages. The AI processes files in minutes; if you need broadcast-quality accuracy, human transcriptionists are available at a per-minute rate with a 99% accuracy guarantee.
The core workflow is clean. Upload a file, pick AI or human, and get back a formatted transcript with speaker labels, timestamps, and searchable text. The online editor lets you correct errors inline and export to TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, or PDF. For video teams, the subtitle editor handles caption styling and syncing without needing a separate tool.
Beyond file transcription, there's an AI meeting notetaker that connects to Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom via calendar integration. It captures summaries, highlights, and action items automatically, which makes it useful for teams that have shifted from transcription as an editorial tool to transcription as a workflow tool.
**Trustpilot rating is 4.6 out of 5 across 1,200+ reviews**, and the cross-platform average sits at 4.7 from nearly 20,000 reviews. The consistent praise is around speed, accuracy for most accents, and a clean interface that doesn't require training. The consistent criticism: accuracy drops with heavy background noise or strong regional accents, and some users found the free trial limitations frustrating when they couldn't export without upgrading.
HappyScribe is 100% bootstrapped, founded in Barcelona in 2017, and has stayed at around 20 people. That's worth noting for anyone evaluating long-term reliability: no VC pressure to pivot, but also no war chest for rapid product expansion.
Pricing runs from a pay-as-you-go option down to monthly plans tiered by AI minutes. There's a free trial with no credit card required.
