Supported Tools

list_glossaries

List Glossaries

List available glossaries within an organization. Glossaries define source-to-target terminology mappings and can be attached to transcription or translation orders for consistent handling of domain-specific terms.

confirm_order

Confirm Order

Confirm and submit a draft order for processing. Use this for orders that were created with confirm set to false (incomplete/draft state). Once confirmed, the order will begin processing.

get_order

Get Order

Retrieve details of a transcription, subtitling, or translation order. Returns the full order state, associated transcriptions, operations, pricing details, and ingestion status.

create_translation_order

Create Translation Order

Translate an existing transcription into one or more target languages. Supports 70+ target languages with both automatic (AI) and professional (human) translation services. When translating an already-translated transcription, the system automatically uses the original source.

export_transcription

Export Transcription

DEPRECATED — use `create_export` instead. Export one or more transcriptions to a specific format. Supports text (txt, docx, pdf), subtitle (srt, vtt, stl), professional editing (avid, premiere, fcp), and other formats (html, maxqda, json). The export is processed asynchronously; this tool creates the export and polls until it's ready, returning the download link.

list_transcriptions

List Transcriptions

List transcriptions in your organization, sorted with the most recent first. Returns metadata about each transcription including state, language, duration, and cost. Can be filtered by folder and tags. Use the export tool to retrieve the actual transcript content.

get_transcription

Get Transcription

Retrieve detailed metadata about a specific transcription including its state, language, duration, cost, and sharing status. To get the actual transcript content, use the export tool.

delete_transcription

Delete Transcription

Delete a transcription. By default, moves the transcription to Trash. Set permanent to true for irreversible deletion.

list_style_guides

List Style Guides

List available style guides within an organization. Style guides define transcription and subtitling preferences such as verbatim mode, grammar correction, SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing), speaker identification format, and notation tags.

create_order

Create Transcription Order

Create a new transcription or subtitling order for an audio/video file. Supports both AI-powered automatic transcription and human professional transcription in 120+ languages. You can attach glossaries and style guides to improve accuracy, organize with tags and folders, and optionally receive webhook notifications on order state changes.

get_upload_url

Get Upload URL

Get a signed URL for uploading an audio/video file directly to Happy Scribe's storage (AWS S3). Use the returned signed URL with a PUT request to upload the file, then use the resulting S3 URL when creating a transcription order.

get_export

Get Export

Check a previously created export without creating another export or downloading file content.

download_transcription_media

Download Transcription Media

Download the existing transcoded MP3 audio or MP4 video for a transcription. Media must be ready and served by the documented media.happyscribe.com host. Does not create a transcription or a new export.

download_export

Download Export

Download a ready MP3, MP4, PDF, UTF-8 TXT, SRT, Facebook SRT, WebVTT or transcript JSON export served by the documented media.happyscribe.com host. Other hosts, formats and invalid bodies fail explicitly; download those in Happy Scribe. This does not recreate expired exports.

create_export

Create Export

Start a document, subtitle, editing-project, spreadsheet or source-media export and return its status immediately. Use get_export to check progress. Use download_export for downloads from the documented media host; other download hosts require downloading in Happy Scribe.

get_meeting_summary

Get Meeting Summary

Read the generated summary of a notetaker transcription. Happy Scribe returns 404 when no summary exists or it is not ready.

list_organizations

List My Organizations

Discover organizations accessible to the authenticated account, including their IDs, names and your role. Pass an organization ID to transcription, glossary, style-guide and order tools.

update_transcription

Update Transcription

Rename a transcription, move it to another folder in the same organization, or enable or revoke public link sharing. Call list_organizations to discover organization IDs.
