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.

Thinkific

Thinkific is a hosted course platform where creators build, market, and sell online courses, membership sites, and digital communities. It suits independent educators, coaches, and small teams who want a dedicated course home without stitching together separate tools. The course builder is straightforward, though the platform's customization ceiling is lower than fully self-hosted alternatives, and transaction fees disappear only on paid plans.
