Frequently Asked Questions

Is Whisper Web as accurate as Rev's human transcription?

Rev's human transcription (at $1.50/minute) delivers 99%+ accuracy, which is hard to match with any AI service. However, Whisper Web's AI transcription is comparable to Rev's AI service ($0.25/minute) for clear audio. The key advantage is that Whisper Web is free and private.

Can I get certified transcripts from Whisper Web?

No. Whisper Web is an AI transcription tool, not a certified transcription service. If you need legally certified transcripts (for court, regulatory, or official purposes), you'll need a human transcription service like Rev or a certified court reporter.

Does Rev keep copies of my audio?

Rev stores your uploaded audio on their servers and uses human transcriptionists who listen to your recordings. If privacy is a concern, Whisper Web's browser-based approach ensures your audio never leaves your device.

How much money can I save by switching?

If you transcribe 10 hours of audio per month with Rev's AI service, you'd pay approximately $150/month ($0.25 × 600 minutes). With Whisper Web, that cost is $0. For Rev's human service, savings would be $900/month.
