A full production suite, or a fast way to get the words out.
What Happy Scribe is built for
Happy Scribe is a professional transcription and subtitling suite — it does automatic transcription, human-verified transcription, translation and a proper subtitle editor. It's aimed at production teams with compliance and quality requirements, and it's a serious tool for that job.

Where Happy Scribe beats us
On depth. Happy Scribe does human-verified transcription, translation and proper subtitle editing — none of which SubGrab offers. If your output is broadcast subtitles or anything with a compliance requirement, that premium buys something real and you should pay it.

- You want the words quickly and cheaply, without a subscription
- Your sources include social platforms Happy Scribe doesn't read
