Descript
AI-powered video and podcast editor with transcription-first workflows.

Transcription, subtitling, and subtitle translation in 120+ languages with optional human review.

Overview
Happy Scribe transcribes audio and video and produces subtitles in more than 120 languages, with both automatic and human-made options. Users upload files or paste YouTube links, receive editable transcripts with speaker identification and timestamps, and export SRT, VTT, DOCX, or burned-in subtitles. Its subtitle translation feature creates multilingual caption tracks from one transcript, and the editor shows subtitles over the video for timing fixes. Small businesses use it to caption product videos, localize tutorials for several markets, and transcribe customer interviews. It integrates with YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Zapier, and offers an API and team workspaces. Human transcription and subtitles are priced per minute with longer turnaround but higher accuracy. Plans bundle a monthly allowance of AI minutes, with extra minutes billed at about $0.20 each. Automatic accuracy drops on noisy recordings or heavy accents, and there is no voice dubbing, so paired tools are needed for audio localization.
