Things your AI can do in Happy Scribe

Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Happy Scribe — on its own, without you needing to click a button.

  • Create Subtitle

    Popular

    Create subtitles for a video file using Happy Scribe's automatic transcription service. Submits a video URL to be processed for subtitle generation. The video must be publicly accessible during ingestion. Returns a subtitle job with an editor URL for reviewing and editing the generated subtitles. Processing states progress from 'initial' -> 'ingesting' -> 'automatic_done' (or 'failed'). Use the GET transcription endpoint to check processing status.

  • Create Translation Task

    Popular

    Creates an AI-powered translation task to translate an existing transcription into another language. Use this after a transcription is complete (state='automatic_done') to translate it. The task runs asynchronously - use Retrieve Translation Task to check progress and get results. Note: Not all language pairs are supported (e.g., German to English may fail).

  • Delete Transcription

    Popular

    Tool to delete a transcription job. Use when you have a transcription ID and want to remove it, optionally permanently. Use after confirming the transcription ID.

  • Delete Webhook

    Popular

    Deletes a webhook by its ID. This action is idempotent: if the webhook does not exist or was already deleted, it returns success. Use Get Webhooks to retrieve available webhook IDs.

  • Get Account Details

    Popular

    Tool to retrieve details about your account, including subscription status and usage statistics. Use after authenticating your API key to monitor plan and usage.

  • Get Supported Languages

    Popular

    Retrieve the list of supported language codes for Happy Scribe transcription services. Returns BCP-47 language codes and indicates which languages have human transcription service available. This is a static reference based on Happy Scribe's official documentation, as there is no dedicated languages API endpoint.

  • Get API Rate Limit

    Popular

    Get Happy Scribe API rate limit information. Returns the documented rate limit for the Happy Scribe API: - Default limit: 200 requests per hour - Applies only to the transcription creation endpoint - When rate limited, API returns HTTP 429 with 'retry_in_seconds' in the body Note: Happy Scribe does not expose rate limit headers, so this tool provides documented defaults. If you encounter a 429 response during transcription creation, wait for the 'retry_in_seconds' value before retrying. For higher limits, contact sales@happyscribe.co with subject "Happy Scribe for Business".

  • Get Signed Upload URL

    Popular

    Tool to get a signed URL for uploading a file to Happy Scribe's S3 storage. Use before creating a transcription or order to obtain a secure upload URL for your media file.

  • Confirm Order

    Popular

    Tool to confirm a pending order. Use after creating an order with confirm=false when you're ready to submit it for processing.

  • Create Translation Order

    Popular

    Tool to create a translation order from an existing transcription. Use when you have a completed transcription and want translations into one or more languages. By default, the order remains incomplete unless confirm=true.

  • Export Transcription

    Popular

    Creates an export job to download transcription content in various formats. Use this action after a transcription job completes (state='automatic_done'). First obtain transcription IDs using the List Transcriptions action. The export job runs asynchronously - poll the Retrieve Export action with the returned export ID to check when the download URL becomes available (state='ready'). Supported formats: - Documents: txt, docx, pdf (support timestamps, speakers, comments, highlights) - Subtitles: srt, vtt, stl (standard caption formats) - Video editing: avid, premiere, fcp (professional editing software) - Other: html, json, maxqda

  • Get API Version

    Popular

    Tool to retrieve current API version and check for updates. If Happy Scribe does not expose a dedicated /version endpoint, this tool attempts to infer the version from HTTP response headers or from the base_url path (e.g., /api/v1).

  • Get Error Codes

    Popular

    Returns a list of HTTP error codes used by the Happy Scribe API along with their descriptions. Use this tool to understand what different error responses mean when calling other Happy Scribe API endpoints. This returns static reference data matching the official Happy Scribe API documentation.

  • Get Supported Formats

    Popular

    Tool to retrieve supported file formats. Use when you need to know available input and output formats before creating a transcription or subtitle. If a dedicated '/formats' endpoint is unavailable, this action probes known endpoints to verify connectivity and returns a curated list based on official documentation.

  • Get Transcription Details

    Popular

    Tool to retrieve details and status of a specific transcription job. Use after creating or listing transcription jobs to inspect a particular job's metadata.

  • Get Webhooks

    Popular

    Tool to retrieve webhooks configured for your account. Note: Happy Scribe's public API does not have a dedicated webhooks listing endpoint. Webhooks are specified via webhook_url when creating orders. This action attempts common endpoints and returns an empty list if unavailable.

  • Retrieve Export

    Popular

    Tool to retrieve information about a specific export. Use when you need to check export status and get download link.

  • List Transcriptions

    Popular

    Retrieves a paginated list of transcription jobs for a Happy Scribe organization. Returns transcription metadata including ID, name, processing state, language, and duration. Supports filtering by folder and tags, with pagination for large result sets. Note: This returns metadata only; use the Export Transcription action to get actual transcript content.

  • Retrieve Order

    Popular

    Retrieve details of a Happy Scribe order by its ID. Returns order state, pricing, operations, and inputs. Use this to check order status, verify pricing details, or get information about translation/transcription operations. The order ID is obtained from create order responses (e.g., Create Translation Order).

Questions other Happy Scribe users had before signing up

Do I need to know how to code?

Not even a little. If you can use Happy Scribe today, you can set this up. You'll connect Happy Scribe, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.

Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?

Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.

Can I make it sound like me?

Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.

What if I want to take over a conversation?

You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.

Is my client data safe?

Yes. Your Happy Scribe login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Happy Scribe or delete everything any time.

What happens when Happy Scribe updates their app?

We handle it. When Happy Scribe adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.

How fast can I actually get this running?

Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Happy Scribe takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.

What is FormWise?

FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Happy Scribe — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.

Can I sell AI agents to my clients?

Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.

Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?

Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.

Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?

No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
