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 HappyScribe’s AI Chat 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.

Add custom glossaries

Every industry has its own language. Custom glossaries teach HappyScribe yours, so proper nouns, acronyms, and specialized terminology are transcribed exactly right, every time.

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.

Create a Style Guide

Style Guides define timing presets, grammar rules, speaker labels, and notation tags to tailor every transcript to your requirements.

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.

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.

Does HappyScribe have a free plan?

Yes. HappyScribe offers a free plan with unlimited meeting recordings, capped at 45 minutes per meeting. 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.

Can I format my meeting notes in a specific way?

Yes. HappyScribe offers templates for various meeting types, so you can maintain a consistent format across all conversations.
