User Testimonials
	HappyScribe	XTM XTRF
Likelihood to Recommend	HappyScribe 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. Lucas Hilty Project Chair Read full review	XTM International In my experience, XTRF's track record on basic functionality leaves a lot to be desired. Those so-called "smart projects" feel more like needy projects, with limitations popping up at every turn. And don't get me started on the integrations—memoQ? Yeah, I feel like it's a struggle. Customizing notifications? Good luck with that. And as for support, well, let's just say you're better off sending messages to the void. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	HappyScribe 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.

Alternatives Considered	HappyScribe 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 Lucas Hilty Project Chair Read full review	XTM International Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	HappyScribe Happy Scribe enables us to make videos and audio accessible to people who prefer not to watch or listen. Happy Scribe saves us time and money. Happy Scribe just works. Lucas Hilty Project Chair Read full review	XTM International In my opinion, the limitations in functionality, especially with smart projects and integrations with tools like memoQ, have hindered the full realization of its potential.
