Happy Scribe is by far the best

Happy Scribe is by far the best and most accurate transcribing software I have found so far. I have used a couple of others, and this is the best value and most accurate.

Clean Crisp interface

Clean Crisp interface. Spot on transcription and translation when accent / voice is clear. Time saver of a tool and how. Like most tools, translation cannot be perfect but it's better than most.

Lifetime or year plan based?

Hello, I bought a few minutes ago 6 hours of Happy Scribe, lifetime access, during the Black Friday Offer. Looking into my product list, I've noticed that they are redeem in January 2021!!! I'm confused, please clarify! Thank you

The solution to many transcription problems in a wide range of languages.

Happy Scribe made me an almost word-perfect transcription of a long German conversation when the audio was not of the best quality. Impressive!
