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.

Machine translation is remarkably accurate, though of course not perfect.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.
