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.

Rev

Rev transcribes audio and video files using either automated AI or human transcriptionists, returning time-stamped text files, captions, and subtitles. It serves podcasters, journalists, video producers, and educators who need accurate transcripts quickly. Human transcription is notably more accurate than AI for complex audio, but costs more per minute. A free trial lets you test the AI tier before committing.
