  • I've been looking for an easy, affordable, and accurate way to add subtitles to videos. Until HappyScribe, I couldn't find anything that checked all the boxes. I'm really impressed with how accurate it is for such a low price point.
    Kate Scott
  • By far the easiest service for transcriptions and subtitles I have found. I like that you can customize the font size and move the subtitles to the top or bottom of the video as needed.
