"Simple to use"
What do you like best about Rev?

It was really simple to upload and manage the transcripts we needed, and I like that everything ended up in one place for posterity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

The only downside I noticed was that we couldn't share out deidentified links to the transcripts or deidentified transcript exports, which we needed. It took a fair bit of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
