Introduction
Happy Scribe is a transcription and meeting notes platform built around multilingual speech recognition. It records or joins online calls, transcribes uploaded audio and video files, separates speakers, and turns the result into summaries, action items, and searchable notes. Subtitle generation and translation are part of the same workspace, so a recording can become captions in another language without leaving the tool. The service runs in the browser and offers calendar sync, a bot-free recorder for Mac and phone, and a set of integrations for storage and automation. It is aimed at teams that treat conversations as a record to keep rather than a call to forget.
