What it does

Rev sells transcription and captioning with human transcribers as the headline product and a cheaper machine tier alongside it, and it is the option people reach for when the transcript has to be right rather than nearly right. Turnaround is measured in hours rather than minutes for the human tier, which is the trade. It delivers standard subtitle files rather than styled captions burned into video, so it belongs upstream of whatever puts text on the picture. Accessibility work and published transcripts are its natural fit.

Alternatives
