What do you like best about Rev?

Quick turnaround times. I rarely have to wait for more than a couple of hours for a complete, 30-minute transcript. Plus, it's super easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

Not many downsides! Little inconsistencies come through occasionally, but that's the nature of a human-oriented transcription service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rev?

Rev is my primary tool for transcripts and captions. It's super quick, the rates are competitive, and I feel good knowing there are real people making this all come together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

I would love for the organization process to be more robust. If we could batch select and tag, add project names, etc, that would be monumental. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rev?

I did not like the free version with only 300 minutes, it did not allow for me to use much of their offerings, however i bought a subscription because I use/need this for so much of what I do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
