Rev

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

I like the price and the quick turnaround time

Nachteile

The quality of the transcript isn't great so I find that I have to re-listen and edit

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

Don't really have any cons about the software.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Rev

Vorteile

The turnaround time for captioning was good.

Nachteile

The captions were often misspelled if there were theological or philosophical terms in them.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

Still a little expensive but worth it for us.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Most features are provided Automatically e.g recording

Nachteile

Some Audio files' quality is very poor and bad

Vorteile

This is very good and genuine software to earn money for transcription and captioner work.

Nachteile

The tools that are available in this software at the time of trial, there is some problem in doing it if you do it from mobile.

Vorteile

Easy to use, little to no errors. Product is returned, ready to go in VERY little time.

Nachteile

Wish, after it was saved, that I could go back and continue dictating in the same file. Not sure I can do that...

Vorteile

They are fast and easy to use. While their turn around time is stated at 24 hours, they frequently exceed that SLA. I've never had an issue with editorial issues either. My industry has a lot of specific jargon with difficult spellings. I always upload scripts and the captions always come back perfect.

Nachteile

This is minor, but some of the UX could be improved when it comes to adding support files etc. I also with there was direct connection to my vimeo channel or other video hosts.

Vorteile

Rev is an accurate, fast, sleek transcription software. And if I'm not pleased with a transcriptionists work, I just make that known and that transcriptionist no longer gets jobs from our organization. Their caption services are also great and make captioning videos so easy as I can edit the captions in Rev, export the file, and upload it right into the video platform that I'm using.

Nachteile

I've been very happy with Rev's performance for the price that they charge.

Vorteile

I like that I can use a human to do the transcription or automation. The turnaround time for a transcribed file is really fast!

Nachteile

I wish they had a feature where I could record an audio file right to them instead of having to upload a file or share a link.

Vorteile

Accuracy, ability to add custom words to the dictionary, proposed multi-lingual capabilities.

Nachteile

We will need multi-language support to also support disfluencies and filler words.

Vorteile

The quality of the captions are very good. Turnaround time is exceptional as well.

Nachteile

Would like the opportunity to have a critical ASAP caption request for guaranteed 10-15 min delivery

Vorteile

Rev.com provides prompt captioning services. In many cases, they have completed out captioning projects in less time than advertised.

Nachteile

Panopto captions are not named as they are set up in the Panopto. A Panopto recording being captured is only identified by a very cryptic number.

Vorteile

Timeliness and accuracy are most important.

Nachteile

Billing is a bit clunky. Also vimeo auto uploading srt's seems a bit hard to get working.

Vorteile

Straight forward and easy to submit material to be captioned. Pretty consistent turnaround.

Nachteile

Very ineffective and slow customer service when needed

Vorteile

This company offers excellent speed and accuracy in dictation. They offer a lot of flexibility, as well. If need be, the customer can pay extra for rush service. The quality controls are excellent and effective.

Nachteile

You get what you pay for: this company offers a great service, but they are not inexpensive.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

The ease of use and the speed at which we receive our transcriptions.

Nachteile

I wish the formatting was a little better. Speakers in columns make it hard to cut and paste.

Vorteile

It's very intuitive. I like how easy it is to use.

Nachteile

It is cost prohibitive for long form dictation.

Vorteile

Web API allows us to easily send recorded audio files for immediate transcription.

Nachteile

None. Software performed exactly as expected.

Vorteile

Rev is really fast, we always get back our work same day. It is so easy to use and you can train it by rating the transcripts you get back. It has saved us so much time and we believe $. Will analyze at the end of the year. We have been very happy with this software.

Nachteile

We have received a few transcripts with errors but not many.

Vorteile

Quick work delivered with good quality of work by Rev for transcription and foreign subtitles services. The costing also is very attractive.

Nachteile

A greater variety of foreign languages should be introduced to the foreign subtitles services.

Vorteile

The Kaltura integration makes getting videos captioned very quick.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Being able to search and edit/replace words is very helpful for me. Our church follows a specific style guide and references their capitalization of religious words and this allows me to quickly and easily edit the words to be using the capitalization rules we follow.

Nachteile

Sometimes there are some discrepancies, but for the most part it has been really great.

Vorteile

I like that it provides the automatic setting of doing the transcription

Nachteile

Not much but just it should have been available also on mobile

Vorteile

This is a great tool for the content marketer. You can take audio in the form of podcasts or youtube videos and in minutes have a fully transcribed copy.

Nachteile

Our field has a lot of technical words that are not very common, it struggles with these, also with any brand-specific words. It would be nice if some AI component could be taught how to transcribe particular words. For example, you say a word 3 times and write what the word is. Then anytime it hears that word it can transcribe it -- it's tedious to correct the same words over and over again.

Vorteile

I love Rev because its a market place where someone may be looking for the services you offer and if your price is affordable,one can hire you
I love it because its authentic,you get what you deserve,the buyer and seller are served right

Nachteile

I hate it when all over sudden Rev can closes for you your account not knowing the reason,yet you have your profile set,you are there waiting for gigs,you want to achieve something but Rev has closed the account.
The fact that i was trying to sign up then look for captioning gigs only to be told that i am not eligible because of my country yet they say that anyone in the world can work in Rev

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

I like the layout and ease of use. I think the price is fair and the quality is great most of the time.

Nachteile

The one thing I would say is to make the search slightly more intuitive, I don't know what is wrong but it is sometimes impossible to find files that I know are in there. I think the quality is better sometimes than others, depending on the person who transcribes. I wish it would be slightly more consistent.

Vorteile

I don't mind DIY caption options, but Rev efficiently does the job when I don't have the time or energy.

Nachteile

I have not had any negative experience, nothing to report. It has worked well for me without any obstacles.

Vorteile

I love how quickly I get my videos back from Rev, almost always the same day!

Nachteile

So far there has been nothing that I dislike about Rev so far.

Vorteile

Rev uses a combination of AI and people that make its speech to text conversion very accurate.

Nachteile

The costs can add up, however, it is priced fairly compared to other software.

Vorteile

the simple design of just upload and have it done for you is amazing. With more people on social media watching videos on mute at work this has become a necessity to have with all of your social media videos

Nachteile

There really aren't any cons that I can see. Other than the tweaks you can do to really make it personal are not in plain sight

Vorteile

This software is user friendly, I really like the interface. It does it's job pretty well

Nachteile

There's some editing of the closed captioning involved, it does make some errors.

Vorteile

It was set up and tested in less than 10 minutes. The person that requested CC was satisfied with the results.

Nachteile

No problems at all. It was able to do what was needed to meet accessibility requirements for Zoom meetings and webinars.

Vorteile

Accuracy, Price, Turn-around, Ease of use

Nachteile

I do not have a "least" option regarding this software.

Vorteile

I love that we can pull videos in from Vimeo or Youtube - it makes it really easy to get the files uploaded to the system.

Nachteile

There are some slightly cheaper options out there, but the encryption and ease of Rev can't be beat!

Vorteile

I enjoyed the flexibility to utilize audio formatted in various ways. I was able to save my audio from other system and share it with Rev. The turnaround time to complete the job was super fast and the output was quality.

Nachteile

Maybe adding an option to speak the text on Rev's site would be helpful in saving time and having it readily available.
