Rev: Record & Transcribe

I work in the legal field and—while I realize that this is no substitute for an actual court reporter—Rev has been incredibly useful tool! I’m completely impressed by the accuracy and attention to detail. So far we have use this tool to convert recorded conversations with witnesses into transcripts that can be entered into evidence (if you do it right). I really hope that this is a company that is paying their freelancers well, because it’s clear that they are doing an excellent job (and it’s suspiciously inexpensive). Thanks for providing such an outstanding service!

I’ve only used this app once to record a telephone call. It picked up me (of course) but even the dude that answered AND you could even hear the clock ticking. The clock is about 20 feet away!! Will be doing another test to see how it gets to Evernote. If that works I will let this review stand. By the way, I NEVER give 5 stars. EVER!!! This made my day. Thanks. I *I may try the dialing of the call recording on the phone to see if that works. I haven’t tried that in a long time. I will let you know.

I am truly disappointed with whatever this potential upgrade was supposed to be. Are used to be able to stop a recording and then append it and now I can’t do that so I have to make 15 recordings if I need to pause and come back to it. I keep making recordings hoping that I can just leave it on pause and then I come back and the whole thing is gone. It used to be that if you left a recording it saved it anyway and said there was unsaved data. Now this application is more simple and less functional than the one that I used for 4 years. Highly disappointing and I wish I never had this application upgraded on my phone. The old one is still on my iPad and thank God for that.

I find writing much faster If i can get it all out fast and transcribe then work the draft. Real people do a much better job that I'm happy to pay for. One major improvement I would like to see: since Im charged by the minute, I'm penalized for pausing to think and speaking slow in general. Its a simple audio task to remove pauses linger than say a 1/2 second. It would be nice to have the done automatically ahead of charging by the minute.

I have genuinely come to appreciate and value this specific tool. I’ve found no other as easy, and fulfilling to its purpose and promise as Rev. This is the easiest recording tool in the world because it allows me to have my recordings transcribed with just a click or two. The technology doesn’t get in the way of my thoughts. It simply allows my thoughts to be captured without glitching or interruption from faulty tech. Love it!
