FAQ
What is the difference between AI transcription services and human transcription services
AI transcription services use speech recognition models to turn audio and video into text very quickly and at a low cost. Human transcription services rely on professional transcribers who review and refine the transcript by hand. AI transcription is ideal for speed and high volume work, while human transcription is best when you need the highest possible accuracy for publishing, legal, or compliance use cases.
How accurate are HappyScribe transcription services
Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and the type of transcription you choose. AI transcription services provide fast, high quality transcripts for clear recordings. Human transcription services add a layer of expert review for difficult audio and can deliver near perfect accuracy when the source material is clear.
Do you offer transcription services for both audio and video
Yes. HappyScribe offers audio transcription services and video transcription services on the same platform. Upload recordings from your recorder, meeting software, or camera, or paste a video link, and choose AI or human transcription based on your needs.
Are HappyScribe transcription services secure
Yes. HappyScribe is built as a secure transcription company with GDPR compliant processes and SOC 2 Type 2 certified infrastructure. You can control who has access to your files and transcripts, use workspaces for teams, and request NDAs for sensitive projects.
Loved by teams around the world
Rated 4.6 on G2
I've been using HappyScribe for three years, and I still prefer it over any other A.I. transcription service or notetaker I've tried.
I love the agility and quality of HappyScribe, especially the quality of the summaries.
The transcription performance is the best out of the different services I've tested (Fireflies, Fathom, Gemini).
