The pitch

Rev built its brand on human transcription, which still has a place — court depositions, archival oral histories, anything where 99.9% accuracy and signed accuracy certificates matter. But the AI tier they upsell at $0.25/min is the same underlying technology Transcribr provides at $0.08/min. We're a third of the price for equivalent quality, and our turnaround is minutes instead of hours.
