How to transcribe your meetings with HappyScribe?

Step 1

Connect your calendar

Sign up for free and connect your Google or Outlook calendar in under two minutes. HappyScribe joins every scheduled meeting automatically, and any event you do not want recorded can be excluded with a single setting.

Step 2

HappyScribe records the call

HappyScribe joins your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet as a participant and records both audio and video. Prefer no bot? The browser-based recorder captures audio from your device without adding a visible participant.

Step 3

Your full transcript, ready in minutes

A word-for-word transcript lands in your inbox moments after the call ends, with every speaker labeled and every timestamp in place. Export to PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT, or VTT. Share a link with your team, or paste straight into Notion, Google Docs, or your CRM.

Do more with every meeting.

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.

Chat across meetings

Search across every meeting you have ever recorded. Find when a topic came up, who raised it, and how the conversation evolved across later calls.

Speaker diarization

Every voice on the call labeled automatically, even during cross-talk. Rename a speaker once and the label updates across the full transcript and every export.

Verbatim or clean-read

Keep the raw version with every filler word for compliance and research, or toggle on clean-read mode for a polished document. Both versions come from the same transcript.

Multi-format export

Download your transcript as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT, or VTT. SRT and VTT drop straight into video editors as subtitle tracks.

Meeting recording

Every call is recorded and stored with audio and video. Revisit the source whenever you need context, verify a quote, or grab a clip for a client update.

Real-time transcription

Text appears as the call is happening. Useful for attendees who want to skim along, for hearing-impaired colleagues, and for teams that want to drop a quote into chat mid-meeting.

Integrations

Connect HappyScribe to Slack, Notion, HubSpot, and your CRM through Zapier, MCP server, or API. Pipe a fresh transcript into a Slack channel the moment it finishes processing.

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.

TRANSCRIPTS

The call ends. The meeting transcription is ready.

Every word, every speaker, every timestamp in one searchable record that anyone on the team can open, quote, or forward. This page covers the verbatim transcript itself; if you need structured notes with decisions and owners see meeting minutes, a short AI overview of the call see meeting summary, a list of tasks see action items, or a single-respondent research or journalism interview see interview transcription. Sales teams push transcripts to HubSpot, product teams push them to Notion, and legal teams keep them in the HappyScribe archive with EU data residency.

I found it very simple to understand and follow. It generated exactly what I wanted and what I expected. The results were very close to near perfect, word for word.

Everything has been perfect with HappyScribe. Great service for subtitles. Totally recommended.

Very happy with my first transcription. Easy to upload and download, and various formats. Impressed with quality, speed and cost compared with a "human" typist in the past. Eager to use again.

It met my needs. The program struggles with homophones and proper names, but otherwise is very accurate.

A very useful service, especially for editors and journalists.

The experience was very necessary for my work because I don't have the subtitle in English

Rated

I am a Spanish teacher and I always have thought that putting subtitles was difficult. With HappyScribe, I can use many English videos in my classes only subtitling them to Spanish in an easy and clear way. I would love an educational plan!

Really good conversion of English speech to text and good value for money, especially if you have long speech to write up.

Every question you're about to Google.

What is AI meeting transcription?

AI meeting transcription is a word-for-word text record of a meeting, generated automatically from the audio using speech-recognition models. HappyScribe labels each speaker and adds a timestamp to every line. The transcript is searchable, editable, and exportable to PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT, or VTT.

How does real-time meeting transcription work?

HappyScribe joins your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet as a participant and processes audio live during the call. The final transcript lands in your inbox within a couple of minutes of the call ending, with speaker labels and timestamps already applied. If you prefer no bot, the browser-based recorder generates the transcript the same way once you stop the recording.

Can I transcribe a meeting from an existing recording?

Yes. Upload any audio or video file in a supported format (MP4, MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, and more) and HappyScribe returns a full transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. Useful for calls recorded before you connected the calendar integration, or for back-cataloguing old meetings into the searchable archive.

What export formats does the meeting transcript come in?

PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT, and VTT. Text formats drop into Notion, Google Docs, or Word. SRT and VTT load straight into video editors as subtitle tracks. You can also pipe transcripts into Slack, HubSpot, or any tool you use via Zapier, MCP server, or the HappyScribe API.

How is meeting transcription different from meeting minutes or a meeting summary?

This page covers the verbatim transcript: every word spoken, with speakers and timestamps. For structured notes with decisions and owners, see AI meeting minutes. For a short overview of the call, see meeting summary. For a list of tasks pulled from the call, see action items. For one-on-one research or journalism interviews, see interview transcription.

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.
