Rev Reviews & Product Details

I really appreciate how fast, simple, and precise the AI transcriptionist feature is. All I have to do is upload my video, and in just a few minutes—usually between 2 and 10, depending on the video's length—I receive a complete transcription. I rely on these transcripts for all my copy needs, and my clients are always satisfied with the results. This tool has truly become indispensable in my business.

I don't like that the system prevents me from transcribing the same video more than once. When I was working on a video's transcription and accidentally pressed backspace, the transcription was deleted. Unfortunately, I couldn't undo this action, and I wasn't able to transcribe the video again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy and self-explanatory it was to set up Rev; it made the process smooth and hassle-free. The AI transcriptions have been a game-changer for my documentary work, especially in helping with interview transcriptions. I am impressed with the speed at which the AI transcriptions are created, allowing us to read through interviews efficiently, which significantly aids in our workflow. The accuracy level is impressive, around 90%, and with a bit of attention to context clues, we can easily make out the rest. I appreciate the ability to add team members under one account, which streamlines collaboration and makes it easier for my team to work together efficiently. This feature, along with the efficient transcription service, stands out to me as a strong reason to continue using Rev. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the UI for locating and organizing transcriptions confusing. A better organizational system would enhance the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Rev for about seven years now, primarily for transcription and caption services at an ad agency. I find Rev to be an incredibly easy tool to use, particularly for handling the high volume of transcript and SRT files I need. The setup process was super easy and intuitive, and I haven't had any issues since setting up my account. I love how I can just upload final videos and receive my final files within thirty minutes to a couple of hours, which saves me a lot of time. The ability to easily input job codes for billing purposes is also very helpful. Furthermore, the proactive notifications I receive when my files are ready streamline my workflow by letting me know when to stop other tasks, download the files, and send them to clients. I think the ease of use, along with the price and speed Rev offers, makes it an indispensable tool for my day-to-day operations. The proactive email notifications that alert me when my files are ready for download are a feature that I particularly appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the current limitation of not being able to select multiple outputs at once. Currently, when I upload a video, I have to create a separate order for each type of deliverable, like a transcript and then a SRT file, which requires me to pay and start a new order each time. This process is a bit cumbersome and I wish it was streamlined to allow for selecting multiple outputs simultaneously to save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rev provides an incredibly efficient and streamlined transcription solution, making it an invaluable tool in my documentary practice. Its affordability and ease of use stand out, especially compared to earlier, expensive transcription services that were less accessible. The platform offers seamless cut-and-paste functionality, allowing me to quickly generate transcripts by selecting text from multiple speakers and automatically linking back to the original audio for tonal and contextual clarification. This capability greatly enhances my workflow, particularly with over 55 interviews for my independent documentary work. The ability to sort and store transcripts digitally in the Rev cloud, while linking to specific sound bites, enables me to drill down to minute details and organize everything in a manner that fits my needs. This ease of accessing audio and its transcripts through simple hyperlinks shared in my scripts is game-changing and invaluable for anyone unfamiliar with the original material. I appreciate how easy the initial setup and onboarding process was, allowing me to quickly become operational and benefit from the service. Overall, Rev has proven to be a reliable and essential component of my workflow, which I consistently recommend to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the file structure in Rev which doesn't allow for much flexibility in setting up folders. It often resets, causing me to always navigate back to the top menu and then drill down again. This process seems very counterintuitive. I wish it had more functionality akin to Google Drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Rev expedites the transcription process, transforming lengthy recordings, like hour-and-a-half calls, into text within five minutes, which is remarkably time-saving. I value its ability to resolve issues when there are discrepancies in what was claimed to have been said. I also find it highly beneficial for personal development tasks, such as transcribing motivational speeches from leaders like Tony Robbins, which enables me to convert these into actionable insights efficiently. Additionally, I enjoy the simplicity and ease of the initial setup. Overall, I am very satisfied with Rev and how it meets my transcription needs effectively just as it is.

Maybe I could see a tiny bit of room for improvement in the accuracy of the AI-transcribed content. Greater precision would significantly enhance the effectiveness of the transcriptions, providing a more reliable output, especially when dealing with recorded phone calls and personal development materials. But I am VERY happy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automated transcriptions are incredibly accurate for most things. It's incredibly quick even for long video files. I've never needed to use Customer Support because there has never been an issue. I use Rev probably 3 or 4 times a week for business. I use it to transcribe master classes, meetings, client calls and courses as well as use the SRT files for captions were needed and use the AI features to help create module description and summaries. It's easy to use and intuitive to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything I dislike about using Rev. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fantastic, I have not had an single issue with it, the system is easy to use, implementation was quick, customer support has been great, I use it daily, the number of features seem to increase daily, and the ease of integration is incredible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not had a ton of bad things with REV, there are a few of us in our department that use it, and when we all leave a meeting the bots remain, so we have to manually remove them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tend to use the AI transcript service. First, it is really affordable. Second, it takes a lot of the labor out of the free kind of transcriptions that are running in parallel to whatever you're viewing online. Third, the AI transcripts are fast to arrive. I don't tend to need absolutely pristine transcripts--95% accuracy is my standard and Rev always exceeds that. Fourth, the summary function is a nice add on (it's free, though I wish it would download with the Word transcript). If you need a polished version, select the human review version. I did that once and it was worth it. Delivered before the deadline it set for itself. Fifth, the desktop interface (including invoices) is super handy. I find myself using Rev more and more.

Not much to dislike. I like the AI summary function--and I realise it may still be beta--but I wish it would download with the transcript when I save it as a Word document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I first started using Rev in 2019 when I was a podcast producer for a B2B CRM company. We would record our podcasts via Zoom, render the audio file, then upload the file through Rev to generate a transcript. From there, we turned that transcript into a blog that was optimized with meta data, canonical URLs, everything possible to help our podcast episodes see the most traffic and time on site. It also helped us stay ADA compliant for the hearing impaired who could still following along with the content of the podcast. I still employ that particular use case till this day, but also, I use it to transcribe videos and webinars and turn the transcriptions into thought leadership pieces, short-form content, video descriptions, teaser copy, etc. Plus, the transcriptions always come back within a day, sometimes within the hour! I love Rev and refuse to use any other kind of transcription tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, can't think of anything I don't like about it. Since I started using it, the UX has improved and it more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have compared many different AI generated transcripts and captions, and Rev by far is the best and most accurate! One thing that really sets it apart from others is that it is incredibly easy to edit the AI generated transcripts to correct small mistakes and add non-verbals and create a 100% accurate transcript, which is required for the kinds of qualitative data analysis that I do. Rev enables you to watch the video, use keyboard shortcuts to control playback, and correct the transcript in real time, or add additional information. This has saved me countless hours, and produced much higher quality and more usable transcripts. I also appreciate how the corrected transcript file can be downloaded as a caption file. I can't recommend Rev highly enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only complaint is that sometimes Rev will roll out a user interface improvement that actually decreases the functionality. In general, these have been short-lived and they have improved it again back to its original functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
