With Scribie, I had to go back to the original book to double-check what the word queen was supposed to be, even in context. Second, punctuation is easier to fix than word choice. First, Rev's editing software is more streamlined. Overall, both transcripts were transcribed in less than five minutes and were usable and readable, though Rev’s was easier to edit for two reasons. Scribe, however, erroneously wrote cards instead of crawdads, this man instead of the swamp, and queen where it should have been quaint. For example, Rev correctly transcribed crawdads, swamp, and quaint. The same audio file, when processed by Scribie, produced only eight errors in total, but more word-choice errors than Rev. The rest of the errors were related to punctuation, such as run-on sentences, choosing the wrong ending point for sentences, or capitalizing words that should not be capitalized. It's a reasonable error for AI, but a human transcriber would have picked the right word given the context. Rev made 11 errors in the two-minute reading, but only one was an incorrect word: wondered instead of wandered. I uploaded the file to Rev and Scribie to compare their error rate.īoth produced similar results, but Rev was slightly better. I recorded myself reading the introduction to Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. The most surefire way to test and compare AI transcription services is to have each product process the same audio file. While it’s not fancy, the user dashboard is simple and self-explanatory. A Rev spokesperson says the ability to add comments to a transcript is now a live feature, though it was not yet released during testing for this review.Īt any point in your post-transcription workflow, you can click Download or Share at the top right to export your work to yourself or others.

You don’t need a paid subscription to use the service, but you do need an account. To get transcribing with Rev, you create an account with an email address. The mobile apps aren’t terrible they just aren’t extremely functional-but nor are they an essential part of the service. You can just as easily record audio directly to your computer or use any voice recorder on your phone and transfer the file to your computer (using a cloud storage service or Bluetooth transfer), and then upload the file to Rev's website from your computer. Thankfully, you don't have to use the mobile apps at all. The apps are somewhat confusing to use, with little on-screen instruction. You do need a computer, rather than just a phone or tablet, to access all of Rev's features, although there are mobile apps for recording and uploading audio files. Rev is a web-based service that works in any browser, though the company recommends using the latest version of Google Chrome, with a second-best option of Opera for optimum performance. Rev is already one of the faster transcription services on the market, but these optional upsells are nice to have if you’re in a rush and don't mind paying for them. Even with the Rev Max subscription, extra services and convenience fees can add up when you use the human-generated transcription services (these charges doesn't apply to AI-generated transcripts)-it's an additional $1.50 charge per minute of audio to rush your order and 30 cents per minute extra to add timestamps. It's worth noting that Rev’s pricing is complicated. Scribie's prices start at 10 cents per minute for AI transcriptions and 80 cents per minute for human ones.though you have to pay an extra 50 cents per minute on top of that if you want "strict verbatim" text, meaning "um"s and other filler words are included. Nor does it throw in unlimited transcripts from Zoom calls. However, Otter doesn't offer human transcriptions, only automated ones. The comparable Otteri.ai charges less than $10 per month for 20 hours of auto-transcription and offers 5 free hours each month. Rev’s subscription rate is a bit higher than similar software.
