Actually better than you would think
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Happy Scribe's automated (machine) translation to provide the starting point for our educational video transcriptions and subtitles. We run the audio or video file through the web app, which takes only a few minutes, then edit the transcript either using the very nice editor included in Happy Scribe using a downloaded file.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- There's not much to dislike!
Most Important Features
