    In my experiences while using Google Translate, it has used certain words that translated in a different dialect. For example, there are different dialects of Spanish and Google Translate should be able to recognize each one. Mexico Spanish is different from Puerto Rico Spanish, Spain and other Spanish countries. There should be a translation for each dialect.

    Happy Scribe saves us a lot of time in generating transcripts and subtitles. We have used other services, including human transcription, and really find Happy Scribe to be adequate for a starting point. Even human transcription isn't perfect when the transcriptionist isn't familiar with the domain and specific vocabulary used.

    • Machine translation is remarkably accurate, though of course not perfect.
    • The entire web app experience is thoughtfully designed and implemented. Using it is a pleasure.
    • A sweet feature: the ability to share editable transcripts with guests through a share link.

    It is an easy program to use and it works in all Microsoft Office apps. It comes in handy when you need something translated quickly.

    Alternatives Considered
    Google
    Microsft translator is also a very good translator but it has limited language support also it was very expensive at the time when we were looking for a transaltion service when compared to Google Translate. The other reason why we selected this was because we were already using other google products.

    For our use, Happy Scribe's machine translation is nearly as accurate as the human translation services we used before at considerably lower cost. The web app is better designed than either of the others we tried, though we haven't used those alternatives in the past several years
