How to turn every meeting into an async artifact with HappyScribe?

Step 1

Connect your calendar

Sign up for free and connect your Google or Outlook calendar. It takes under two minutes, and HappyScribe then joins every scheduled meeting on its own.

Step 2

HappyScribe records the call

HappyScribe joins your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet as a participant and records both audio and video for every person on the call.

Step 3

Your async artifact, ready in minutes

A full transcript, a structured summary, and a decisions-and-owners list land in your workspace moments after the call ends. Push them to Slack, Notion, email, or a shared drive so teammates in other timezones can catch up without attending. Export to PDF, DOCX, or TXT.

Do more with every meeting.

Async-ready summaries

Decisions, topics, and next steps pulled into a single overview you can forward to anyone who missed the call. Ready before your next meeting starts.

Chat with a meeting

Ask a question about any past recording and get an answer with the exact timestamp. No more scrubbing through an hour of audio to find who said what.

Search across meetings

Full-text search across every meeting you have ever recorded. Find when a decision was made and whether it changed three meetings later.

Create from meetings

Turn any recording into a Notion page, a Slack update, or an internal doc. One click and the artifact ships to where your team reads.

Meeting recording

Every call recorded and stored with audio and video. Teammates in a different timezone can watch at 1.5x or jump to the exact timestamp that mentions their project.

Integrations

Connect through Zapier, MCP server, or API. Artifacts flow straight to Slack, Notion, Linear, Google Drive, or wherever your team already works.

Custom templates

Configure the output to match your async workflow. Weekly reviews, design critiques, retros, board meetings — a different template for each.

Speaker identification

Every voice on the call labeled automatically. A teammate catching up in Tokyo can see exactly who raised each concern and who owns every next step.

The AI Notetaker is a real game-changer for us. There's no need to write everything during meetings anymore; now I can actually engage.

ASYNC

The meeting ends. The async artifact arrives.

Transcript, summary, and decisions land in one place the moment the call wraps — shared with everyone who needed to be in the room and everyone who did not. If you want the tighter summary-only artifact, see meeting summary; for daily written standups, see standup notes; for formal governance-grade minutes, see meeting minutes.

MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT

Your team understands many languages. So does HappyScribe.

HappyScribe auto-detects the language being spoken and handles mid-call switching. Supports 150+ languages and dialects.

SECURITY

Your meeting records stay in Europe.

SOC 2 Type II-certified. GDPR-compliant. Headquartered in Barcelona with data stored in PCI DSS and ISO 27001-compliant EU data centers.

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your content is never used to train AI models.

FLEXIBILITY

Works with or without a meeting bot.

HappyScribe joins your scheduled meetings as a participant, or you can use the browser-based recorder to go bot-free.

You control how your meetings are recorded.

One meeting. Three async-ready artifacts.

Every call leaves behind a summary, a decision log, and a searchable transcript.

Async summary

Key decisions, open questions, and next steps organized for someone who was not in the room. Written so a teammate can read it in two minutes and know what changed. Delivered to your inbox and pushed to Slack or Notion automatically.

Decisions and owners

Every decision flagged with the person who made it and the action items that came out of it. Owners assigned, deadlines captured when stated, exported to PDF, DOCX, or TXT.

Full transcript

Word-for-word record with speaker labels and timestamps. 95%+ accuracy across accents and 150+ languages. A colleague in another timezone can jump to minute 17 instead of watching the whole recording.

The speaker system is pretty inaccurate but otherwise it's perfect and very fast I'd recommend it.

I am amazed at the quality of transcription. There are some words that are phonetically similar that need to be corrected but for the most part the speech-to-text is excellent.

I have loved using HappyScribe to help with my copywriting. I find that if I conduct an interview, I can have it transcribed to quickly move into the writing/editing phase for published pieces. Great software and fairly priced.

Every question you're about to Google.

What are async communication tools?

Async communication tools let team members share updates, decisions, and context without everyone being online at the same time. Shared docs, recorded video, transcripts, and summaries are common formats. HappyScribe sits in the transcript-and-summary category: it turns every live call into a document teammates in any timezone can read later.

How does HappyScribe replace meetings for distributed teams?

HappyScribe joins your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet and produces a transcript, an AI summary, and a list of decisions and owners. Teammates who could not attend read the summary, scan the decisions, and jump to specific timestamps in the transcript. The live meeting becomes a one-time event. The artifact is what the rest of the team actually uses.

Can I generate an async artifact from a recording I already have?

Yes. Upload any video or audio file and HappyScribe returns a transcript, summary, and decision list. Useful for back-filling async docs from calls you recorded before signing up.

How does this compare to Loom-style async video?

Loom-style tools are great for one-to-many pre-recorded updates. HappyScribe covers the other half: the live conversations you still need to have, turned into an async artifact for everyone who was not there. Many teams use both.

Which integrations push the artifact into my team's workflow?

Zapier, MCP server, and a public API. From there the summary and decisions flow into Slack, Notion, Linear, Google Drive, Confluence, email, or any tool you already run on.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. HappyScribe offers a free plan with unlimited meeting recordings. No credit card required.

How accurate is the transcription?

95%+ across all supported languages.

What languages are supported?

150+ languages and dialects, with automatic language detection.

Can I use HappyScribe without a bot joining the meeting?

Yes. HappyScribe offers a bot-free browser recorder that captures audio from your device.

Where is my meeting data stored?

All data is stored in an EU-based data center that is PCI DSS and ISO 27001-compliant.
