What Happy Scribe does

Happy Scribe works with two kinds of input. Its AI Notetaker joins Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls to record, transcribe and summarize them, and a mobile app and web recorder capture in-person conversations. Separately, you can upload or import audio and video files by link and transcribe them in 150+ languages and dialects, with speakers detected automatically.

The same files can be turned into subtitles and translated, with AI translation covering 80+ languages. Exports include TXT, SRT, PDF, DOCX and MP4 with hardcoded subtitles. Teams can edit together in real time, leave comments, and keep style guides and glossaries so names and jargon stay spelled correctly. AI Chat answers questions about files and meetings, and integrations cover YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox and Zapier, plus API access and an MCP server. For work that needs a person, human proofreading and professional subtitling are sold as an add-on from $2.00/min.

Recordings are free and unlimited on every plan; the plan limits apply to minutes for uploaded files. The Free plan includes 10 free minutes once. Basic, Pro and Business are listed at $17, $29 and $89 per month on its pricing page when billed monthly, or $8.50, $19 and $59 per month billed annually, and include 120, 600 and 6,000 minutes per month for uploaded files. Enterprise is priced on request.
