Our platform combines industry-leading speech recognition with AI that cites its sources, so every result is accurate, verifiable, and tied directly to the original file. We keep humans firmly in control — AI never replaces judgment, it supports it — giving legal and law enforcement professionals the clarity and time they need to make fair, informed decisions. And when precision matters most, optional human review adds an extra layer of assurance. Built with strict security protocols (CJIS, HIPAA, and SOC2) and zero data sharing with third party LLMs, Rev helps teams find the truth faster, move cases forward with confidence, and spend less of their lives stuck in playback and paperwork — while keeping responsibility for judgment exactly where it belongs: with them. The bottomline: Rev delivers fewer overtime hours, fewer missed details, faster case movement, and more sustainable workloads for the people responsible for applying judgment in the moments that matter the most. ## Rev Pros & Cons **What users like:** - Users love Rev for its **high accuracy in transcriptions** , making it a reliable tool for various needs.

Low pay, demoralizing work culture, poor quality of audio jobs offered **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2021 **Describe the project or task Rev helped with:** I was a transcriptionist for Rev. **What do you like best about Rev?** Rev offers transcription services. That's what I did. **What do you dislike about Rev?** Demoralizing culture of "grading," low pay **Recommendations to others considering Rev:** I was a teacher looking for something to keep me busy and to make a bit of extra money over the summer because the summer program I used to teach for was cancelled due the pandemic. I found Rev on a list of “summer jobs for teachers,” and I am sorry that I ever did. I am a 55-year-old English professor who has taught writing and editing for nearly 30 years. I Googled “summer jobs for teachers” and “editing jobs,” and Rev came up. I took a grammar test and experimented with the software and thought transcription, while not “editing,” might be a good fit for me. Little did I know then that a transcriptionist has little to do with proper language, grammar, usage, and so on, and everything to do with good hearing and the ability to decipher gibberish and unintelligible audio submitted by people who are too lazy to type their own notes. Rev is also the antithesis of every teaching philosophy I’ve ever read or used in my own career. For example, Revvers are “graded” by freelance Revvers who are apparently good enough at transcribing that they can judge others’ work. The scale is 1-5, but you have to maintain a whopping 4.5 to continue working for Rev. In the teaching world, that’s a B+ average. Keep in mind that this is just to keep the job. “Grades” are cloaked in useless comments called “feedback.” One grader gave me a 1 because I – following the customer’s lead – labeled a speaker by his shirt. This same customer had labeled speakers “dark green polo,” “dark blue button up,” and so on in a video I had just finished transcribing. But when I labeled a speaker “male short sleeved shirt” on the next job for the same customer, I was given a 1. My “metrics” obviously fell below 4.5. Rev graders will tell you that all grades are based on Rev’s “style guide.” I have taught copyediting for years and I can tell you that Rev’s guide is not a style guide. MLA, APA, AP, Chicago, etc. all publish style guides. Aside from telling Revvers when to spell out a number and when to use a numeral, the Rev guide is 20 pages of rules and Rev policies that will then be used to grade Revvers harshly and, eventually, to deactivate (aka “fire”) them. In my case, my metrics fell below Rev’s coveted 4.5 on a Thursday and I received a warning email. I worked most of the day Friday to bring up my metrics. However, late Saturday night I received another email that I had been deactivated. That means they fired a 30-year veteran English professor. In all, I worked for Rev for two weeks. The constant emails with my “grades” were demoralizing and humiliating, and anyone deserves more than two days to improve their work. If all of this was a trade-off for decent pay, some might think the process worthwhile. Our parents taught us that if something sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true, and nowhere is this more so than with Rev. Don’t let them fool you with the glamour of working from home in your pajamas. We taught through a pandemic, so we know how much fun it is to work from home. Don’t let them fool you, either, with promises that as you become a better Revver you’ll make more money. After my 45 minutes of training, hundreds of jobs did open to me. However, many of them paid 50 cents or less per minute of transcription (as low as 31 cents) and much of the audio was so bad that I couldn’t possibly transcribe efficiently. And when they say they pay by the minute, they mean the minutes of the audio recording, not the minutes that you spend working. Most jobs took me between twice as long and four times as long as the audio because I constantly had to pause, rewind, listen again and again, and try to decipher who was speaking and what they were saying. So a 10-minute project suddenly became anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour and a half of my time. When my accuracy rating fell to 4.4, below Rev’s minimum of 4.5, my account was deactivated and I was no longer able to work for Rev. At that point, I had worked a total of 250 minutes and 55 seconds and had earned $158.32. Keep in mind that those four hours (250 minutes) were the length of the audio files, not the time I worked. So if I worked, say, 12 hours, I made $13/hour, which is less than minimum wage in some states. The quality of the audio was another problem. One audio I transcribed was two heavily-accented people talking while a crew was felling trees in the background. Yes: felling trees. In other cases, people talked over each other, talked through noisy locations like a boiler room, or talked so fast that I couldn’t understand them. Rev’s software can’t transcribe these poor audio files, but Rev expects human transcribers to be correct 90% of the time. It’s worth noting the good work that I did. Of 24 jobs, 18 were graded. Of those 18, I earned 10 perfect 5’s; five rankings of 4; two 3’s; and a 2; I earned the 1 on “formatting,” not accuracy. Accuracy is why I was deactivated. My fellow teachers (and anyone, really), all of this is to say: if you want to occupy your time and make a bit of extra money over the summer, then tutor. Or just apply for a job at your local Six Flags amusement park. You’ll have a wear a silly uniform and they might (though it’s unlikely) assign you to the most degrading of jobs like cleaning the restrooms. But you won’t be “graded” (aka, demoralized and humiliated) by an invisible “Revver” and you can go home feeling good about yourself and your value in the workforce. **What problems is Rev solving and how is that benefiting you?** None ### 2. unreliable no longer saves dictation **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Larry B. | a, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2021 **Describe the project or task Rev helped with:** I dictated a long letter and my android app would not save m dictation. Waste of time. i tried a number of times and wasted 3 or 4 dictation files. ten contacted tech support and they took 2 days to get back to me and could not do anything wasted my time **What do you like best about Rev?** nothing now at one time dictation was god & quick **What do you dislike about Rev?** waste of time to dictate and get nothing **Recommendations to others considering Rev:** do not waste your time **What problems is Rev solving and how is that benefiting you?** trancribing my dictation no nger receive benefits ### 3. If you like Automated Translations that no one understands... **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2020 **Describe the project or task Rev helped with:** Rev.com may do a semi-decent job with transcriptions and captions, but when it comes to translations, be prepared to feel embarrassed in front of your audience. Their translations don't make any sense! They're made through automated software like Google Translate, and no native speaker of the languages they cover can understand their translations. We've spent $1500 in translations for a webinar and got completely scammed by rev.com, they don't even accept the fact that their translations are completely useless. We had to spend 5x that value having our translators manually redoing ALL of their work. I can't emphasize how aggravating that is. I recommend you stay away from this company. **What do you like best about Rev?** The only thing they do semi-decently is transcriptions and captions. **What do you dislike about Rev?** Their translations are AWFUL. They basically don't make any sense, and even native speakers of the languages they cover will have the hardest time ever reading the crap they deliver. **Recommendations to others considering Rev:** Stay away from their translation services. **What problems is Rev solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were looking for captions for our YouTube videos, and subtitles for a webinar. The first one was done decently while the latter was a complete disappointment. Their support is a joke. ## Rev Discussions - [Can you actually make money on Rev?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-you-actually-make-money-on-rev) - 1 comment - [Is rev a legit company?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-rev-a-legit-company) -
