About HappyScribe

HappyScribe was founded in 2017 and has grown into one of Europe's leading transcription and subtitling platforms. The company offers both AI-powered automatic transcription and human-reviewed transcription in over 120 languages, serving media companies, educators, researchers, and businesses that need accurate speech-to-text conversion. The platform handles transcription, subtitling, and captioning workflows—from automatic speech recognition to human-quality reviewed transcripts. This dual approach (AI + human review) makes HappyScribe suitable for both rapid turnaround use cases and high-accuracy requirements where human verification is essential. HappyScribe is incorporated in Ireland (Happy Scribe Limited) with its operational headquarters in Barcelona, Spain. The company has raised approximately EUR 13 million in total funding, including a EUR 8 million Series B. The team has grown to approximately 223 employees. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II certification, which is strong for a transcription service handling sensitive audio content. Data is hosted on EU GDPR-compliant infrastructure, which is critical for transcription services that often process recordings of meetings, interviews, and confidential conversations. Pricing is accessible: pay-as-you-go at $12/hour for automatic transcription, with monthly plans from $9/month. Human transcription is available at $2.00/minute for situations requiring guaranteed accuracy. For European businesses needing transcription with EU data residency, HappyScribe offers a strong combination of European incorporation, SOC 2 certification, and EU data hosting—essential when the audio being transcribed contains sensitive business or personal information.
