What made this great

What made this great? Is that it was very easy to operate, maybe some of the easiest software and it does what it says it does to the T. This company is consistent in providing great access to great software, they're customer support and affordable pricing is a gem in this economy. This company looks like it had a promising future.

HappyScribe Could not possibly be any easier

HappyScribe could not possibly make adding subtitles to videos in different languages easier. The user experience is amazing. I uploaded one video as a "test" and sent it to a native speaker so that she could vet the translation, and she said it was perfect... outstanding quality. I literally have DOZENS if not HUNDREDS of videos to obtain subtitles for in many different languages, and HappyScribe has made it so easy that I am no longer overwhelmed by the prospect of such a large task.

Thank you, Katherine! Sending the test video to a native speaker is the real check, so hearing the translation came back perfect is great to know. And the bit about no longer feeling overwhelmed by the size of the job is what we're happiest about. If anything looks off as you work through the rest, just shout and we'll take a look. 💙

Tried to convert M4A files to MP3, and it spit out a broken file each time. Does not work at all.

Sorry to hear the M4A to MP3 conversion gave you a broken file every time, that's not how it should work. We'd like to look into what went wrong, so please send the details to support@happyscribe.com and we'll help get it sorted. 🙏

Thanks Joshua, glad it's off to a good start! The free plan gives you 10 minutes of transcription or subtitles plus unlimited meeting recordings, so there's plenty to keep using, and paid plans are there if you ever need more. Shout if you need anything. 😊

not free video transcript

This website showed up while searching for a FREE video transcript service and when I finished uploading my video it says I need to upgrade my plan to do it

Why do you say it's free when it isn't... why do you waste people time

I won't pay for transcript a video that could be done easily for free with a lot of LLM models out there

Sorry for the frustration, and for the time you lost. That's a fair thing to be annoyed about. HappyScribe does have a free plan (10 minutes of transcription or subtitles, plus unlimited meeting recordings), but longer files and video need a paid plan, and it sounds like that wasn't clear before you uploaded. We don't want anyone feeling misled. If you'd like, reach out at support@happyscribe.com and we'll walk you through what's free and what isn't so you can decide. 🙏
