AI prompting to refine results rocks!

In a meeting with 25 people I recorded a talk on debt restructuring with my phone from the back of the room. The notes were concise, albeit not totally to the point, since this was not a formal meeting. The AI prompted narrative summary of less than 500 words nailed it though!

Hi Edwin!

Recording a 25-person meeting on debt restructuring from the back of the room is no easy feat, so we're really glad HappyScribe rose to the challenge! 😄

The AI narrative summary is one of our favourite features for exactly this kind of situation: when the raw notes are a bit loose, it pulls everything together into something coherent and concise.

Thanks so much for sharing this, it's a great real-world use case!

Tricky login system for the free-version. They allow only 10 mins.

Need to mention that before ask for registration.

Answer to support: if you "lie" people before signing up, then you can expect people not to be happy with that.

Great, but wish I had more credits

I do wish I had more credits, but I understand why we get limited. A website as great as this needs the funding to be able to keep being up.

Accurate, easy and flexible

I tried Happy Scribe with the free trial and was immediately impressed. The transcription accuracy is excellent, even with background noise and different accents. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, and the ability to download the transcript in multiple formats is a great plus. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a reliable and flexible transcription tool.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Raffaer!

It's great to hear the accuracy held up even with background noise and different accents, those are genuinely challenging conditions.

We're glad the multiple export formats are proving useful too. We really appreciate the recommendation!

Thank you, Jan-Marten! Metal and EDM are about as challenging as it gets for transcription, so we're really glad Happy Scribe held up well.

We're always working to improve accuracy across different audio styles, appreciate you putting it to the test!

Been using happy scribe now for a good few years especially for the free hardcoding subtitles,and the time synching options.and its by far the best site with free services available.even though your limited to 2gb max size files and cant customize and position your subs,it still does a fantastic job.and as its free there will be a happy scribe watermark at very bottom of screen,which is only fair as its a free service.So i give it a full 5 stars and highly recommend.

Thank you so much for being such a loyal Happy Scribe user, Lily, it truly means a lot!

We're thrilled the hardcoded subtitles and time-syncing tools have served you well over the years. Your understanding about the free tier limitations is really appreciated too.

Thanks for the 5 stars and the recommendation!
