Happy Scribe is a capable transcription platform, but its free plan is a 10-minute trial, and subtitle MP4 exports are watermarked until you pay.
Transcribing real files means a subscription from €17 a month (€8.50 billed yearly) for 120 minutes.
For the core job — turning a recording into accurate, timed, editable text you can download — Eziclip does it free, in your browser, with no minute cap of its own.
