What they are

Happy Scribe

Happy Scribe converts audio and video files into accurate transcripts and subtitles using automated speech recognition or human transcriptionists. Journalists, podcasters, researchers, and video creators use it to save editing time and make content accessible. The automated tier is affordable and quick, though accuracy drops noticeably with heavy accents or low-quality recordings, making human transcription the safer choice for high-stakes work.

Opus Clip

Opus Clip uses AI to analyze long-form video content and extract the most engaging moments as short clips sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Creators, marketers, and podcasters use it to repurpose existing content without manual editing. The AI scoring system ranks clips by predicted virality, which is a useful starting point, though its judgment does not always align with your specific audience.
