About

Happy Scribe converts audio and video into transcripts, subtitles, and translations across 150+ languages, with an interactive editor and exports to SRT, VTT, DOCX, and editing-suite formats. A public REST API and an MCP server make it scriptable, and human proofreading is available from about $2 a minute for work that needs near-perfect accuracy.

The free tier is mostly a trial for uploaded files — 10 minutes — with unlimited use reserved for its meeting notetaker. Paid plans start around $17 a month with annual billing.
