I had the massive task of transcribing 15x 2-hr+ interviews from my PhD research. Many of these were conducted with participants who had various accents (Chinese, German, British). With so many interviews to transcribe, I decided to try the Trint.com's artificial intelligence transcription service. Despite previous good experiences with Rev, I was strapped for cash and time and needed the work done fast. Imagine my disappointment when, after receiving the transcripts back (and redoing some with Descript's AI service just in case it was better... it wasn't), the transcripts were LITTERED with errors and resulted in me spending HOURS of my time (and increasing my stress) reviewing, correcting, and in many cases re-transcribing the interviews from scratch (yuck!). So much for saving time. The AI had failed to pick up almost ALL the industry-specific phrases or terms (despite using various vocabulary builders that were provided). It even missed some "normal" phrases. And my "industry terms" were things like "knitting" and "knit" and "cutting" and "sewing" - not exactly obscure words. I was so frustrated I finally decided to run my remaining transcripts through Rev, and let me tell you - if I had a time machine to go back in time to do this all over, I would have just gone with Rev from the start. The accuracy was incomparable to the AI transcriptions I tried. This has saved me SO MUCH time and stress, which was WELL worth the money spent to get it done quickly and effectively. I can now dedicate my time to analyzing the data rather than slogging through listening to the interviews and transcribing them on my own. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel!

Fast, accurate transcription. I like that I can indicate the accents of the speakers in advance so that transcribers can choose the files to work with based on their ability with various accents. The one file I had with a heavy Chinese accent took a little longer than indicated to transcribe, but it was INCREDIBLY accurate and I know it was a difficult file to begin with (due to the heavy accent) and I am so grateful the transcriber took the time to get it done accurately.

Speed and accuracy. Rev received our files and turned transcriptions around (90% of the time) in less than 24 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Rev all the time, even proactively set aside budget for it. Rev allows me to take any recording, whether a webinar, quick meeting via webex, or video from an event, and quickly convert it for the purposes of taking notes, turning webinars into white papers, transcribing interviews into blog posts. From capturing content so you don't miss a detail to rapidly converting content, Rev has proven invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simply, Rev saves my team a remarkable about of time. It has enabled us to scale content development and convert interviews into research instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Rev does the vast majority of our closed captioning needs at my company for all of our programming. The files come back in a notification email and are quick to respond with questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface and easy ability to select and choose what type of transcriptions I need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have only used the transcription service with professional transcriptionists and it is worth the additional time. They even add the names of the speakers, even if that information was not initially provided. I also like that they allow you to download the transcript in .word or .pdf. I do channel the transcript requests in the project I work for and the stakeholders have different preferences regarding the format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The quality of the transcriptions is incredible. I have heard the recordings and they get fuzzy (sometimes conversation overlaps or are hardly audible). Nevertheless, the Rev team have managed to transcript them with great accuracy. I also like that they give you an ETA for the transcript. You can also follow the progress of it.

Rev has helped me with my day to day work as a journalist. It is so efficient with its quick turnaround when it comes to transcribing interviews, it's keeping me and my interviewees happy and timely! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy REV is and how time-efficient it is. It allows me to work on other things while my interviews are being transcribed, instead of taking hours to write them myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Needed to have closed captioning done for our feature film Broken Swords: The Last in Line. Given this is based in an original fantasy world some of the names, locations and dialogue is not 'traditional' English I was hesitant about how well/accurate it would transition.

Fast and very accurate. They even got most of the 'fantasy' language changes done really really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use Rev to have calls transcribed so they can be used in our arbitration process. We have had a lot of success with the service with a few bumps along the way but it has not put us off with working with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy the quick turnaround time with transcriptions. Also if I have to reach out to you by phone there is always a friendly person on the other side that is willing to help make things right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use Rev for many business translations for documents, captions for business videos and foreign subtitles for various video projects. These translations and captions are primarily for our global employees so that they can read and watch content that is in their native language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our two favorite aspects of Rev is that they provide high-quality translations services very fast and very affordable. Compared to other translation vendors that we have used, they are a fraction of the cost and get us the translation in a fraction of the time. Rev has allowed us to work more effectively and more efficiently so that important messages can be sent in a timely manner, instead of waiting for translations to be completed.

We use Rev almost every day to transcribe client call recordings for our records, and we also use the service when we need to write something like an article or blog post. We will speak our thoughts (which is so much faster than writing), send it to Rev for transcription, and then when we get it back, writing is as simple as just cleaning up what we recorded.

Rev is extremely accurate and fast. It has multiplied our time and we recommend it to our clients all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
