Happy Scribe is an AI transcription service and meeting notetaker that works in more than 150 languages and dialects. It turns recordings, uploaded files and live calls into text with speakers named automatically, adds summaries and action items, and lets you ask questions of your meetings through AI Chat and an MCP connection. Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls can be recorded from a Mac or phone without a bot joining. A glossary keeps product names and acronyms spelled your way, and transcripts export to Word, PDF or subtitle files. Subtitles and human-checked transcripts are offered for work that needs extra precision.
The service is built for journalists on deadline, academic and market researchers with piles of interviews, sales and customer success teams reviewing calls, lawyers handling hearings and depositions, and educators making lectures accessible. Multilingual teams benefit from automatic language detection and one-click translation, and enterprises can rely on SOC 2 Type II compliance, GDPR compliance and EU data residency. More than 41,000 teams use it, and ratings of of 4.6 on G2 and 4.7 on Trustpilot. Starting is free and no credit card is needed to try it.
Common workflows include transcribing a recorded expert interview and searching for an exact quote with its speaker and timestamp, capturing a Zoom sales call and sending the summary into other tools, and generating subtitles for a video in several languages. A newsroom can cut hours from interview write-ups, a research agency can check quality across multilingual interviews, and a legal team can transcribe proceedings in the original language. Extra utilities such as an audio converter, trimmer, joiner and video compressor handle file preparation, and a mobile app covers in-person meetings.
