Happy Scribe vs. Lokalise

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.

Lokalise is a great product if you're looking to translate your software in multiple languages. It optimizes every process and gives you a large variety of features and integrations to ensure high translation quality, and efficient workflows for everyone involved

• 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.

• Stores information
• Can do handle than 1 project

• There's not much to dislike!

• machine translation options don't use the glossary terminology
• the WordPress integration isn't really usable in the current state
• email notifications settings are not detailed enough

For our use, Happy Scribe's machine translation is nearly as accurate as the human translation services we used before at considerably lower cost. The web app is better designed than either of the others we tried, though we haven't used those alternatives in the past several years

We were actually intended to get Localize instead of Lokalise, the naming is very confusing.

• Happy Scribe enables us to make videos and audio accessible to people who prefer not to watch or listen.
• Happy Scribe saves us time and money.
• Happy Scribe just works.
