Company mission
To build the #1 Audiovisual Platform by combining AI with trusted language experts to produce high-quality transcriptions, subtitles, and closed captions at speed.
Our take
Transcription and subtitling services are required in many different industries to support today’s international business landscape, and whilst this sounds simple, it is often difficult to find an effective solution. Whilst there are many transcription and subtitling services online, they are usually expensive when accurate, inaccurate when cheap, and lack the tools that companies need to apply them effectively.
Happy Scribe provides an AI-driven transcription and subtitling service online, allowing users to translate its automated services across over 60 languages, integrate and apply it through an interactive editing tool, and integrate it with APIs such as Youtube's closed captions. The company claims its automated AI-driven solution is up to 85% accurate, but users can pay for human-interrupted services to reach 99%+ accuracy.
Whilst Happy Scribe will inevitably face competition from existing transcription solutions, the company still shows a cutting edge by providing an end-to-end online workflow and deployment toolkit. Furthermore, by employing a workforce of translators and language experts, the company’s human-interrupted AI transcription solution goes beyond the language capabilities of existing services.

Benefits
- ✨ Have an impact on millions of people — Change how users and language professionals make transcriptions, translations and subtitles
- 👫 Work with a small team of bright people — When we talk with most people, they have a hard time understanding how we got so far with so few people
- ✊ We make it work — Have kids? Live far away? Do you have a non-normative life setup? The thing we care the most about is the team. Once we know we want to work with you, we make it work and we can flex the 80/20 rule
- ⏱️ Flexible working hours — Work on the schedule that makes you the most happy and productive
- ✈️ Team Retreats — So far we've been to Paris, Copenhagen, Mallorca, the Pyrenees, Aran Islands, Dublin, and Sweden, where we had a small island to ourselves!
- 🤝 A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence
- 🛫 Infinite runway, no investment pressure — We are 100% bootstrapped and profitable. Every penny spent comes from happy customers who are paying for a product they value. Many tech companies are laying off staff because they grew too fast and need funding to survive. We prioritised profitability and sustainable growth, and are not impacted by funding shortage
- 🍽️ In-Person culture — We believe nothing beats the magic of great people working together in person, in and outside of working hours. We work together, and spend time together: expect laughter-filled conversations over shared meals. The rule of thumb is 80/20 (80% in the office and 20% where you want); you have flexibility to work from abroad or at home when needed
- 🏰 Beautiful office in Gràcia — One of the best areas in Barcelona. Our offices are much more than just a place to work. We like to see them alive 24/7, filled with friends and creative activities. Want to organise a community event, a breakfast with other designers, developers, etc.? The place is yours
- 🌏 International, English-only speaking environment — We're building an international team and want to create an inclusive environment where anyone can join any conversation at any time, even if it’s just kitchen talk. That's why you'll find Italian, French or Catalan people talking in English to each other
- 📈 Equity — By joining the company when the team is so small, you’re helping us set the foundations of our future success. We're asking you to come on an adventure, so if we find a treasure, we want you to get a piece
- 🏖️ 30 days vacation time — To relax and recharge your batteries whenever you need to
- 🚚 Visa sponsorship and Relocation help — We want to work with the best people, regardless of where they're from. We'll help with your relocation costs and getting set up in Barcelona and will sponsor your visa if needed
- 💻 The hardware that you need to be most productive.
- 📚 1 book/mo + e-learning platforms, conferences or courses of your choice — We truly want you to learn
- 🍏 Private Health Insurance — We have partnered with Alan to best take care of our team both in Barcelona and while they’re on the road, covering half of the full price of the medical coverage
- 💳 Monthly savings — Use part of your gross salary for meals, public transport, or nursery services through Cobee and enjoy income tax savings on everyday expenses
