"Easy tool for capturing intel to turn into insights"

Sometimes the automated transcript features are so ridiculously off that it makes the transcript unusable. The cost of the human transcription can be prohibitive at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great all round service!"
What do you like best about Rev?

First and foremost I'm delighted with the accuracy of Rev's closed captions! The site is very easy to navigate and find what you need. Pricing up front and very clear. Fast turnaround. It's saved me a ton of time and as a solopreneur that is a huge win! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

I really haven't come across any downsides - I'm a convert!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Efficient and Accurate"
What do you like best about Rev?

Most useful is the trust that I can do the captions, transcripts and subtitles with a rapid turnaround time. There are always minor errors that can be easily corrected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

Perhaps we can describe better the differences between captions, subtitles and transcripts for the newbies in the digital world. A bit more training will help newbies greatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, accurante, reliable"
What do you like best about Rev?

Rev is fast, accurate and reliable.

Whether you need a quick auto transcript with a very fast turnaround, or a longer, accurate, timestamped multi-person conversation, the pricing is very competitive and the quality is always very good and also improving daily.

The estimated completion time is always longer than the transcription actually takes, so no being left in the lurch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

It would be useful to put speaker names on an auto transcript and also to be asked to input speaker names before you submit the order. I don't like how the timestamps are links on the downloaded document, and you have to manually remove them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High quality, quick delivery, quality for money"
What do you like best about Rev?

Rev was very simple to use and intuitive. I quickly identified the product I needed and placed my order in seconds. I had no issue uploading my content. The transcript was perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

My only challenge with the system was ensuring that I was signing up (and paying for) exactly what I wanted/needed. It would have helped to have some more explanation or even an example of what the final transcript would look like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rev is a huge time saver and does everything I would want it to do"
What do you like best about Rev?

Does a great job of adding captions to our videos. We used to do this manually and it was a huge pain but now we link their service to our YouTube channel. The cost is very reasonable and this service has saved us a ton of time. The staff is also reasonably friendly to deal with when we have issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

No real issues. Sometimes I guess they get a word wrong here or there and sometimes things might go as fast as I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, accurate transcription"
What do you like best about Rev?

Rev often underestimated how long it will take for audio to be transcribed, which leaves me pleasantly surprised when it's ready. The transcription is much more accurate than other services I've used. I'm looking forward to the new features they're rolling out to make it more collaborative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

Isn't always accurate -- I still have to go in and correct some words here or there. I'm also waiting for more collaborative features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
