Rev Pros and Cons

What do you like best about Rev?

I don't have a lot of time to waste when I need something transcribed, and Rev.com is so easy to use and fast that I never feel I've wasted any time. I can even order new transcripts from old orders, so it takes like 5 clicks total. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

Sometimes we get really funny errors, This isn't as big of a deal with print transcripts, but when we've ordered burnt in captions, it would be best if those errors were eliminated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rev?

I appreciate the quick turnaround, and when I need something extremely quick, I use the automated solution. It works well, not perfect, but well enough. The cost is a bit above some others, but so is the quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

I like that you can name the speaker throughout. It works well. But if you use the online editing system and delete or combine paragraphs, the speaker name can be incorrect. I work around it, but I wish I could change a speaker name for a paragraph without changing all speaker attributions throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rev?

What do you dislike about Rev?

Hmmm, not much at all. But if I had to say one thing, sometimes to get to my captions, I prefer viewing them under the 'My Orders' option than the default option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rev?

I got eight or nine interviews transcribed using the ML option and had them back within a couple of hours (at the most).

The cost will always be an issue, but you get what you pay for, and I consider the results well worth the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rev?

I really appreciate the YouTube integration, which streamlines my most common workflow. I love that there's a customizable glossary.

You can click to another part of the interview transcription while it's playing. You have to go and pause it to play another part of the transcript. Would be great if that was fixed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
