Rev AI
Rev's speech-to-text API for pre-recorded and streaming audio, with Reverb and Whisper transcription, optional human transcription, forced alignment and add-on insights such as language identification, sentiment, topics, summaries and translation.
About Rev AI
Apps that handle calls, interviews, media or medical audio need accurate transcripts with timestamps, and some teams also need a human-checked option, EU data residency or a HIPAA agreement from the same vendor.
Who it’s for
- Developers adding batch or real-time transcription to products through the REST/WebSocket API or the Java, Node and Python SDKs
- Media, research and healthcare teams that need word-level timestamps, human transcription or HIPAA/EU-hosted processing
When to consider it
Consider Rev AI when you want one API for low-cost machine transcription in English and 57+ languages, the option to send files for human transcription, and forced alignment for precise word timestamps.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- Pay-as-you-go starts with free credits equal to 5 hours of Reverb transcription. List prices are $0.20 per hour for English Reverb, $0.30 per hour for other languages, $0.005 per minute for Whisper Large (English), $1.99 per minute for human transcription and $0.003 per minute for forced alignment, billed per second with a 15-second minimum; enterprise volume pricing is by quote.
- Streaming transcription supports 9 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish) versus 57+ for asynchronous jobs. HIPAA processing requires signing a BAA and using a separate account, and the EU (Frankfurt) deployment is arranged through support.
