HappyScribe records the call

HappyScribe captures both audio and video from your interview. Works for one-on-one and group interviews alike.

Generate interview summaries

Hours of interviews, distilled in seconds. HappyScribe summarizes interviews with key takeaways, decisions, and action items.

Summary templates

Build your own summary templates and use them every time. Keep them private for personal use, or share them across your workspace so the whole team summarizes interviews the same way.

Chat with an interview

Ask a question about any past recording and get an answer with the exact timestamp. No more scrubbing through a 90-minute session to find the one quote you need.

Chat across interviews

Search across every interview you have ever recorded. Pull direct quotes with source and timestamp, and extract insights.

Create from interviews

Turn any interview into a research memo, blog draft, email, or project brief in one click. One interview, endless ways to repurpose it.

Interview recording

Every session stored with audio and video. Revisit the source when a quote needs context, a translation needs checking, or a respondent asks for a passage to be removed.

Integrations

Send transcripts straight to Dovetail, Notion, Google Drive, Airtable, or Slack via Zapier, the MCP server, or API. No manual export, no drag-and-drop.

Export for any workflow

DOCX for legal review. SRT or VTT when your video needs captions. TXT when your research lives in NVivo, Atlas.ti, or MAXQDA. PDF when the client expects a polished deliverable.

Customize the AI note taker

Define your style guide for formatting, grammar, and speaker notation. Build custom glossaries so jargon, acronyms, and proper nouns land right every time. Rename your AI note taker to match your brand.

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.

Every question you're about to Google.

What is interview transcription?

Interview transcription converts a recorded interview into a written record with each speaker labeled. HappyScribe does this automatically for one-on-one, panel, and multi-respondent sessions recorded on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or uploaded as a file.

How does HappyScribe handle interviewer vs interviewee labeling?

Speakers are detected automatically and labeled Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. Rename them before export, for example "Moderator" and "P04," so your transcript lands in NVivo or Dovetail already coded. Renamed labels carry through to SRT and VTT exports, and panel interviews with 3 or 4 voices stay consistent across the full session.

Can I transcribe an existing interview recording?

Yes. Upload an MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, MOV, or any common audio or video file and get a transcript, speaker labels, and export options.

How accurate is HappyScribe for interview audio?

HappyScribe offers 95%+ accuracy on clear audio across 150+ languages, even with heavy accents or mixed-language conversations. When the stakes are higher, like legal proceedings or sensitive research, opt for human-reviewed transcripts that deliver 99%+ accuracy, typically within 24 hours.

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.
