Frequently asked about switching from Rev
Yes. Our Pro plan is $14.99 per month month-to-month, or $99.99 a year billed annually, with no minute cap. Most Rev customers spend more than that once they pass the included minutes on a comparable tier.
Most users do. Sign up, drop a file, and you have a transcript with speaker labels in minutes. No data migration is needed because each file is independent. If you have an archive on Rev, export the transcripts you want to keep and upload future audio to us.
Our premium engine reaches up to 99% accuracy on clear audio in supported languages. Independent benchmarks place us in the same tier as the leading AI transcription tools. Accuracy depends mostly on audio quality, accents, and overlapping speech, so the best test is a sample of your own audio.
No. You can transcribe the first 30 minutes without signing up. Create a free account to keep your transcripts and edit them in the browser; your first file runs on the premium engine with the 11 AI templates, up to an hour.
