  • Great for subtiteles
    Overall: Pros: The integration with Google Drive, the amazing looking interface & personalised vocabulary. Cons: I would like to see an integration with FCPX. Reasons for Switching to Happy Scribe: Price & ease of use.

  • Happy Scribe is exactly what I was looking for
    Happy Scribe is exactly what I was looking for. We regularly tape our meetings in my business; we used to just keep the audio files for storage, now we can have them transcribed at a very attractive price.
    Stefano - Trustpilot
  • HappyScribe is terrific
    I have been using HappyScribe to add subtitles to my videos and to transcribe podcast interviews. Except for some changes to the punctuation, it does a great job.
