Transcripts and subtitles in 60-plus languages
Happy Scribe does machine transcription and subtitles, and will sell you a human pass over the top when the machine is not good enough. The export list is long, including the subtitle formats an editor actually needs. Minutes are metered per year rather than per month, which suits lumpy production.

Long video cut into clips by AI
Vizard takes a webinar, podcast or stream and returns vertical clips with captions and a suggested title, picking the moments itself. The editing that follows is timeline work rather than a rebuild. Credits meter minutes of source video, and the free tier's export is capped at 720p, which shows on a phone screen.
