Happy Scribe is a transcription and subtitle platform built for multilingual media. You upload audio or video, choose a language, and receive a timestamped transcript that can be edited in the browser and exported as subtitles, captions or plain text. The platform supports more than 150 languages for transcription, translation and subtitles, and adds a human proofreading service from $2.00 per minute when machine output is not accurate enough.
The free tier is a 10-minute trial rather than a recurring free plan. Basic is $17 per month, or $8.50 per month billed annually, for 120 minutes per month and one seat. Pro is $29 or $19 per month for 600 minutes, unlimited meeting length and three seats. Business is $89 or $59 per month for 6,000 minutes, five seats, roles and permissions, and unlimited glossaries. Extra AI credits cost $0.20 per minute, and topped-up credits remain available beyond the billing cycle.
Happy Scribe is strongest for subtitling, translation and interview archives. It is not a meeting bot: there is no automatic joining of Zoom or Meet calls, and the editor is focused on transcripts and captions rather than video production. Teams that need both meeting notes and subtitle files should compare it with Otter or Descript rather than treating the tools as interchangeable.
