### "Rev is the most accurate, user-friendly, innovative transcription/caption/subtitle software today!"

August 17, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with Rev is great! I love working with this software and would recommend it to anyone looking for transcription/caption/subtitle software.

Pros

I like how user-friendliness of this software. The timestamp, text-to-speech accuracy, and integration tools make completing transcription/caption projects a breeze

Cons

The only thing I do not like about this software are the sporadic errors created by the Speech Recognition feature when the speaker has an accent.

Alternatives considered

[Adobe Creative Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/48969/Adobe-Creative-Cloud/)

Reason for choosing Rev

I chose Rev software over competitors because it's the most innovative, and the most user-friendly.

### "Useful tool for market research transcription and analysis support"

October 8, 2025

5.0

I use Rev to transcribe and support analysis of qualitative market research interviews. The transcription is very good, including good (not perfect) accuracy of industry/jargon terms, brand names, etc. that other AI transcription tools don't handle as well. Rev also does a good job (again not perfect) of recognizing different speakers in a multi-speaker recording. The summary of each transcript is useful as a reminder of topics covered and general tone of the interview. The multi-file analysis capability has proven useful as well. Rev does not come close to fully automating the data analysis process, however, it is a useful helper.

Pros

Rev's transcription is more accurate than other automated products I've used in the past. The in-product support has been good - responsive and helpful. The transcript analysis capabilities are improving and more useful than general LLMs like ChatGPT.

Cons

There are a few minor things in Rev that could be better. Examples are sharing transcripts with other users (works but not super intuitive, seems a little glitchy) and file management (moving files into folders). Having used the product for about a year, Rev seems to be continously improving.

The transcription accuracy seemed to be getting worse, not better.

### "Rev Review"

October 7, 2025

3.0

Pros

The speed in returning transcripts generated through AI. I notice very few errors with the work product which is appreciated.

Cons

Improve the AI function. Suggested questions disappear after you choose one. Summaries are hard to reformat when I copy them into Word.

### "My #1 Media To Texts Converter"

December 13, 2021

5.0

This tool is a BOMB, I was flabbergasted when it converted by 1 hour audio speech file into texts. For me, this tool is the best media to texts converter that I've ever came across.

Pros

Quick in converting media files to texts, including very large files, and can convert media files which are even more than 60 minutes via duration.

Cons

I've been using Rev for close to two years now, and since then I haven't seen anything to call my problem, at least for now.

Switched from

[Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/)

Google Docs is good at voice capturing, but one has to read through the generated texts, in order to correct wrong spellings and grammas. Rev is far much better than Google Docs.

### "No fuss intuitive interface - Rev an integral part of our workflow"

November 17, 2020

4.0

Great. When we've occasionally had problems with transcription quality we've had great, super-fast responses from you!

Pros

I love how easy Rev is to use which is a key selling point for us because we use it a lot (often a few times a day), and we love the no fuss, intuitive interface. The quality of the transcripts is really good. The AI option is appreciated when we don't need 100% accuracy, but do want to save money. And it's all become a really integral part of our workflow.

Cons

Don't really have any cons about the software.

Alternatives considered

[Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/)

Reason for choosing Rev

We did look at others that I'm forgetting the names of. #1 reason for choosing Zoom - the accuracy and quality of the transcripts. #2 A price we could fit in our budget. #3 the speed!! #4love the self-serve aspect - rather than working with a transcription company as we did previously.

### "A great resource for audio accessibility"

August 10, 2021

4.0

Would definitely recommend if you have some flexibility in your budget and want to make your podcast more searchable and accessible!

Pros

We needed to make our podcast more accessible with the full text of the conversation being downloadable. Already having 70 episodes released, we needed some simple software to help with transcripts. Rev was simple, straightforward, understandable pricing.

Cons

Still a little expensive but worth it for us.

### "Rev Review"

July 28, 2020

5.0

Rev saves time and money as one does not have to hire a transcriptionist who may take a while and in some cases may miss or misrepresent vital information.

Pros

This is the magic software that turns voices into text. The software offers transcriptions services done accurately and in a short amount of time at a reasonable price.

Cons

Nothing about rev was amiss, tha transcription and caption is almost always perfect.

### "I recommend this to EVERYONE!"

July 23, 2020

5.0

I'm able to offer my clients more video editing options now that we have our own accurate captions. Thank you, Rev!

Pros

In my line of work, I work with clients who make tons of videos. Rev provides accurate caption files both fast and inexpensive!

Cons

There is truly nothing I dislike about Rev. I might recommend double-checking the spellings of names, but that's to be expected.

November 17, 2020

4.0

Love using Rev and plan to continue using it for as long as I'm working as a writer.

Pros

I spend a lot of my time watching press conferences and other events. Rev's automated transcripts allow me to record and easily pull quotes with little editing required.

Cons

Wish there was a way for automated transcripts to better identify different speakers

### "Happy with Rev"

November 18, 2020

4.0

Overall I am happy with Rev. Their customer service is awesome.

Pros

The Kaltura integration makes getting videos captioned very quick.

Cons

In my experience, any videos that are 3 or more hours long have been taking way too long to caption, even if I pay the extra dollar a minute to expedite my order. Also, captioning tends to take longer if there are multiple speakers.

### "A Great Opportunity!"

May 3, 2021

5.0

I have done a few jobs with Rev and I was absolutely satisfied with my experience with them. I am able to preview jobs before taking them on. They have all of the tools to help you succeed in the manual on how to transcribe on their website. I did what I was suppose to, they let me know how I did and how I could do better, and my payment for my work was received.

Pros

I love that you work when you have the time and you get to choose the work you do.

Cons

It is put off as an easy way to make money and that is not completely true.

### "Rev"

June 26, 2022

5.0

The work community is great over on the forums very supportive and welcoming. Here's why Our founding mission create great work anywhere jobs!

Pros

Rev is a legit way to make money online, and a good place to start if you're serious about a work-at-home lifestyle. But you will need other sources of income. The problem with online jobs is not necessarily the pay/per task (or hour). It's the inconsistency of work and the downtime.

Cons

They pay every monday which i think least point about this software

Reason for choosing Rev

Because it Reach your audience with clear and accurate captions, transcripts, and subtitles.

### "It's good, it does the job for maintaining compliance"

November 17, 2020

5.0

The product itself is great, settling the accounts payable is more problematic.

Pros

If you need Section805 compliant video for accommodation requests, hands down this is your best option.

Cons

Rev.com requires you to pay Net30, but WITHIN the credit limit set by Rev.com for monthly charges. So you have to have the credit limit increased to get within the amount of monthly charges you may run up. So we have to have a really high credit limit to continue submitting requests as we get close to the end of the month.

Reason for choosing Rev

Cost less, and we could pay as we go, instead of dumping funds into an escrow account to draw from.

### "Rev is better than Trint and Descript, by far."

June 16, 2023

5.0

Very good.

Pros

1) accuracy is high for automatic transcriptions2) it differentiates speakers much better than other services we tested (Trint and Descript)3) it puts breaks between paragraphs (unlike others)4) it's timecode is accurate5) the interface it good6) the post transcript global naming and fixes are easy to do (amalgamating or naming speakers, etc)7) the menus are easy8) it offers pay as you go or subscription options9) it's cheaper than other products that offer similar services10) it's faster than Trint and Descript11) it seems to learn the more you use it12) on projects we did with speakers who has thicker accents, it did better than expected

Cons

I'm impressed overall, I'd love to see more accuracy with the automatic transcriptions. I want Rev to offer other languages, that was disappointing.

Reason for choosing Rev

It was way more accurate, easier to use, cheaper and had more options to test, including a two week free trial vs some others that are 48 hours.

November 15, 2023

Pros

Rev is extremely helpful. I love the transcript and captioning services.

Cons

One thing that would be super helpful for Rev to integrate would be transcribing and captioning foreign languages.

### "Best tech on the market"

November 17, 2020

5.0

The team, from sales to support, has been exceptional. The product has been flawless. The SaaS service has never been unavailable.

Pros

This question should be, "What 'do' you like most about this software?" We currently use Rev to handle customer-uploaded video files. The accuracy of the transcription is almost perfect. In fact, there are often times we can't understand the speaker and Rev still gets the text correct.

Cons

Initially, the lack of non-English languages was a draw back. However, we have beta-tested the new language support and it is proving to be just as good as English.

Reason for choosing Rev

Rev is the best product that we have ever tested in this category.
