Frequently Asked Questions

When editing a video you might want to make it more accessible for everyone. Using subtitles and closed captions can help you accomplish that. The problem is that generating subtitles takes time. That is where HappyScribe can help. With our transcription offers, you will be able to transcribe and generate subtitles for your videos in a matter of minutes with our automatic transcription software, or 24 hours if you opt-in for our human service with 99% accuracy.

Can I transcribe a YouTube Video?

Yes, of course, you can! With Happy Scribe, you can easily copy and paste the video link that you want to transcribe into our editor and convert your YouTube Video to text instantly.
