HappyScribe's supported languages

A guide to the languages HappyScribe supports across transcription, subtitles, translation, and AI meeting notes.

Written by Simon

HappyScribe supports 120+ languages across transcription, subtitles, translation, and AI meeting notes. Coverage varies depending on the feature you're using, so here's a breakdown of what's available and where.

Language coverage by feature

AI-generated transcription and subtitles

Upload your audio or video file and HappyScribe will generate a transcript or subtitle file in the original spoken language. You can also translate and convert it into another language.

AI Notetaker (online meeting transcripts)

Our AI Notetaker can join and record your meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, then automatically generate a transcript afterward.

Human transcription and subtitles

If you need higher accuracy, or require custom styling such as verbatim transcription or SDH (subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing), our professional linguists will handle the file for you β€” carefully proofread and ready to use.

HappyScribe also supports many regional accents and dialects across all features.

Popular supported languages

Some of the most commonly used languages on HappyScribe include English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Turkish, Russian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Bahasa Indonesia, and Thai.

Support for regional variants

HappyScribe supports language variants with localized spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. This includes:

  • English (US / UK)

  • Spanish (Spain / Latin America)

  • Portuguese (Portugal / Brazil)

  • French (France / Canada)

  • Dutch (Netherlands / Belgium)

Selecting the right variant makes a real difference for localization β€” it keeps spelling, vocabulary, and grammar consistent throughout your file.

Getting the best results from AI speech recognition

AI speech recognition performs best when your recording has:

  • Clear audio

  • Minimal background noise

  • One speaker at a time

  • Native pronunciation

This applies across all supported languages.
