Rev

Rev.com is a managed transcription service, not an API — you upload a file or paste a URL in the web app (or record on the Rev mobile app), pick a tier, and Rev delivers the transcript. Service lines: AI transcription at $0.25/min with 96%+ accuracy in minutes, human transcription at $1.99/min with 99%+ accuracy in 12 hours or less, AI captions at $0.25/min, human captions at $1.99/min (English or Spanish, FCC/ADA compliant), foreign-language subtitles at $6.49–$15.99/min across 17+ languages, and court-ready legal transcripts from $0.35/page (instant draft) to $3.25/page (ready-to-certify premium). Verbatim and timestamp add-ons available. SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and CJIS compliant.

Rev is a paid product — published pricing: AI from $0.25/min · human from $1.99/min. Pricing changes; verify on the vendor's own page before budgeting.

Rev runs on Web, iOS and Android.

There is nothing to install — Rev is used in the browser. Create an account on the vendor's site and upload or connect your audio.

Human turnaround is hours, not minutes; most expensive option in this directory.

Legal, medical, or broadcast work where a verified human transcript is required.

Best for legal teams (depositions, court reporting, regulatory filings), media companies (broadcast captions, foreign subtitles), podcasters and journalists needing publishable-quality transcripts, and researchers who can't ship machine-only output. Pricing (verified 2026-05-10): pay-as-you-go rates above, plus subscription plans — Free (45 AI minutes/mo, English only) · Essentials $25.49/seat/mo annual ($29.99 monthly · 5,000 AI minutes, 3–10% off human services) · Pro $47.99/seat/mo annual ($59.99 monthly · 10,000 AI minutes, 37+ languages, 5–15% off human) · Unlimited (custom, CJIS-compliant tier). Disambiguation: Rev.com is the service; Rev.ai is the developer API arm with the same human-escalation option.

No. Rev is a proprietary product. If you need source you can read and run yourself, the open-source tools in this directory are the place to look.

Yes. If what you want is transcripts rather than the tool itself, Whipscribe does the same job as a hosted API: submit a file or URL, poll a job id, pull the result as txt, json, srt, vtt or docx. $0.008 a minute — about $0.48 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.

Rev is another vendor's product; Whipscribe is a per-minute transcription service. We run the models on our own GPUs in a private cloud — audio is never forwarded to OpenAI or any third-party model — and every job returns five formats plus an AI summary, quotes and topics. Your first transcript in the web app is free at any length, no card.

$0.008 a minute — about $0.48 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum: a 3-hour recording is about $1.44, a thousand-hour archive is about $480 once. Your first transcript in the web app is free at any length, no card, so you can check accuracy on your own audio before paying anything.
