Delivered to your inbox. Shared with the team. No one has to volunteer to be the note-taker.

MULTILINGUAL

30 languages in Teams. 150+ in HappyScribe.

Teams' built-in transcription tops out at around 30 languages. HappyScribe supports 150+ and handles mid-call language switching automatically.

Your London office speaks English. Your São Paulo team speaks Portuguese. HappyScribe catches both without skipping a beat.

INTEGRATIONS

Not locked into the Microsoft ecosystem.

Connect HappyScribe to your stack via API, Zapier, or MCP. Transcripts land in Salesforce, Notion, Google Drive, or Slack — not just SharePoint.

Your meeting notes go where your team actually works.

Built for professional Teams transcription

The best way to take notes in Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams has built-in captions and Copilot for meeting notes. But both come with limits. Copilot requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license at $30/user/month. Teams transcription supports around 30 languages and doesn't work with every Teams plan.

HappyScribe fills those gaps. It joins your Teams meeting as a participant, records the conversation, and delivers a full transcript with speaker identification. It works with Teams Free, Business Basic, and every other Teams plan. No Copilot license needed.

Unlike Otter AI or Fireflies, HappyScribe isn't limited to English-first markets. It supports 150+ languages and handles mid-call language switching. Your transcripts export as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT. Not locked into Microsoft's ecosystem.

You can also transcribe existing Teams recordings. Upload an MP4 or audio file and get a transcript in minutes. Teams' built-in transcription only works live and only for organizers who enable it. HappyScribe works whether you're the host or just a participant.
