What do you like best about Happy Scribe?

Since 2020, I've assisted with about 4-5 virtual church conferences. For each one, we provide attendees a digital pass after the conference ends, which includes all of the session recordings. Our denomination has sister churches all over the world, and we needed an inexpensive option to create subtitles in other languages for members in other countries. Many other options have rates of $2+ per minute, but HappyScribe gave us a much more affordable option! You pay based on the "bucket" of minutes you purchase...the more you purchase, the less your per-hour rate is! HappyScribe has done a fantastic job in providing us with AI-generated subtitles each time, which our volunteers then review and clean up before we use Happy Scribe again to run through and create subtitles in Spanish, French, etc. The AI software does a fabulous job generating subtitles in these additional languages!

In the years since I've started using the software I've also noticed a marked improvement in their speech recognition software. Less editing is needed now than in 2020, and also the tools within the editing dashboard have gotten more refined.

Although I don't use this, Happy Scribe does also offer options to have your subtitles edited by humans, if that's what you need. Additionally, the software can recognize not just English speech but also several other languages as well. I've had limited use of the Spanish subtitles in AI, but what I've seen has been positive.

Without a doubt, I would recommend this platform! Plan to continue using it for many years to come! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Happy Scribe?

The only hiccup I've had in Happy Scribe has been the speech recognition with regards to Bible verses and occasionally people's names. This is a very specific concern for me as our conferences are all Christian in nature, and therefore usually reference several scriptures in each session. For example, Luke 2:1-4 might be picked up as "Luke two one through four". And of course people's names can be hit or miss, but sometimes that can't be helped, especially if the name is a less common one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Happy Scribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Happy Scribe for video subtitles as an inexpensive option to make our recordings more accessible to more people around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Happy Scribe?

It is as easy as uploading an audio file and waiting a minute. Then, you only need to fix that 10% that couldn't be transcribed automatically. Additionally, it is possible to play the audio while you correct the text, which makes the work much easier. It also allows you to hire someone to thoroughly review your text. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a great advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Happy Scribe?

The option to "add vocabulary" is not working well for me, and there are certain (small) errors that repeat in most of the transcriptions of my podcast. Otherwise, I am very happy with this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Happy Scribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to save hours each week when transcribing the episodes of my podcast. And not just time, but also energy, since transcribing (at least for me) is a torture. With Happy Scribe, 80-90% of the work is done, and the rest can be done in a much simpler way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Happy Scribe for transcription, captions, and translations for videos. I love that it also allows collaboration for proofing, reviewing and downloading. The translation and conversion tools are fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Happy Scribe?

Sharing links to content at times can be hard to do. I also wish I would batch-share content. Sometimes the translation doesn't work as well as I would like. I wish the translation part would work better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Happy Scribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Happy Scribe to transcribe videos for video editing. It allows be to edit videos in my native language quickly, but I can also use it to help edit videos in other languages through translation. I also use it with my team to create and proof captions for final videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Happy Scribe?

Happy scribe is so easy to use, so fast, and amazingly quite accurate. I love how I can batch upload videos and have them subtitled and transcribed in minutes. I'm often surprised at how fast it's done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Happy Scribe?

There is in fact very little that I dislike about the software. The only thing is it would be great if they offered other features like video to audio, or perhaps some video editing, but that's more a Wishlist than anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Happy Scribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of writing blog posts, I prefer to shoot videos and have the, transcribed and then put the transcripts on my site. Happy scribe does this perfectly. I also use it for my courses where I can convert my videos to transcripts as a value added service to my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
