Happy Scribe

Product overview

Happy Scribe is a Dublin-based platform that provides AI-powered transcription, subtitling, and translation services in over 120 languages. Users upload audio or video files and receive transcripts within minutes, typically processing one hour of audio in about 20 minutes. The platform includes an interactive editor that highlights low-confidence words for review, speaker identification, automatic punctuation, and timecoded output. Founded in 2017 by André Bastié and Marc Assens while they were students at Dublin City University, the company grew out of a college assignment where Bastié needed to transcribe research interviews. Happy Scribe is bootstrapped and has not disclosed external funding rounds, though PitchBook lists Ideate Ireland and The Family as early supporters. The company is GDPR-compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified. Beyond AI transcription, Happy Scribe offers human-edited services where professional linguists polish the automated output for broadcast-quality results. The platform also includes an AI Notetaker that integrates with Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom to automatically join and transcribe meetings. Users can export transcripts in multiple formats and connect Happy Scribe to Vimeo, YouTube, Google Drive, and Zapier.
