Getting started
- Open Rev, start with Try Rev Free or pick the service you need.
- Upload the audio or video file and choose the language and the service level, AI or human.
- Check names, numbers and quotes in the transcript editor, then export the format you need.
Decision points
- Choose human transcription when the text will serve as a record, and compare the extra cost with the AI option.
- If you only need casual call notes, also look at lighter meeting or dictation tools; Rev's front page is built around legal casework.
Limits
- The free plan is limited (the pricing page lists 45 AI minutes a month); human services and subtitles in other languages are priced separately, and prices can change.
- Human transcription and captions are listed for English and Spanish, and AI transcription for 37 languages; confirm your language before uploading.
Frequently asked questions
Is Rev only for legal work?
The front page presents Rev as a platform for legal and investigative evidence, but the transcription page also names research and business needs and lists a free allowance of AI minutes.
What separates AI from human transcription at Rev?
The site describes AI as the fast option and human transcription as a separate service with a longer turnaround and a higher stated accuracy; the accuracy figures are Rev's own claims and were not tested here.
