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.
Podcastle
Podcastle, recently rebranded as Async, is a browser-based audio and video production platform aimed at podcasters and solo creators. It handles remote recording, AI-powered noise removal, transcription-based editing, and voice cloning in one workspace. The free tier covers basic recording but caps exports and AI features. Paid plans start around $11.99 per month, making it competitive with dedicated tools like Descript for audio-first workflows.
