Rev.com was founded in 2010 by MIT engineers and is based in San Francisco, California, with

a second office in Austin, Texas. We have quickly become the market leader in the closed

captioning and transcription space, with a reputation built on both the quality of our work and

our competitive per-minute pricing. We have 100+ full-time employees, and a network of

20,000+ monthly active transcriptionists (called Revvers), 90% of who are based in the US and

Canada. To date, we have served more than 100,000 customers, including thousands of publishers, universities, and colleges.

Rev is able to offer such quick turnaround by utilizing a combination of our large Revver

network coupled with our proprietary caption tools and technology. All work is 100%

completed by human transcriptionists, ensuring a level of quality that automated captioning

software cannot match. Once files are captioned, our QA team of senior Revvers reviews each

file for accuracy before releasing it to the client. Clients also have the opportunity to provide

feedback on the quality of each project. Additionally, Revvers are held to strict nondisclosure

agreements and the viewing of documents is limited to a need-to-know basis for our client’s

privacy.

In regards to the quality of our transcriptionists, Rev accepts less than 10% of applicants,

ensuring high quality through a rigorous screening process. Successful applicants typically have

over five years of experience and receive extensive training in the Rev style guide, as well as

continuous coaching and feedback via our internal quality assurance team and customer

reviews. Due to the experience and qualifications of our people, combined with our internal

software checks, we’re able to guarantee 99% accuracy for clearly audible files.

How Rev Ensures the Greatest Value

First and foremost, Rev believes in providing the best service possible and ensuring that service is both

accessible for all users and simple to understand. We’re not in the business of high costs and hidden fees.

Rev has developed the scale and infrastructure that allows us to provide high quality services at a fixed flat

rate of $1 per minute regardless of the number of speakers, quality of audio, or type of content.

In addition to high quality and low cost, Rev:

• provides customers the ability to create teams within their Rev accounts. A team's account manager

can invite colleagues to his/her account whereby these colleagues are able to place their own

orders. This gives customers the ability to independently place orders within their teams while

consolidating billing and order information.

• All Rev customers have access to our free web-based editors in which they can make additional

customizations to their transcript or caption files like changing speaker names, find & replace, and

sharing within teams.

• No other vendor is able to process the volumes of transcription/caption requests that we are. For

example, we are the only vendor that was able to caption Amazon's entire back catalog, and we

did this twice.

• We don’t charge fees for additional services that many of our competitors do. Audio/video with

poor audio quality, multiple speakers, accents, industry-specific jargon is all covered in our $1/min

pricing.

• We don't ever lock customers into contracts. Use Rev as much or as little as needed, and only pay

for work delivered.

• We maintain the highest levels of security. All customer data is encrypted as rest and in-transit.

Communications between you and Rev servers are encrypted via industry best-practices (HTTPS

and Transport Layer Security 1.2). TLS is also supported for encryption of emails.

• Rev follows best practices handling personally identifiable information (PII) with guidance from

the published General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

• We have a strict 99% accuracy policy. We maintain this through strict vetting of transcriptionists

(we accept less than 10% of applicants) and a rigid QA process. If any file does not meet

this standard, we will re-do it at no additional cost.

• We give customers the ability to rate their completed files. Any transcriptionist who receives a

poor rating on a file can never work on that customer's orders again.

• In addition to our human transcription service, we also provide customers the option to order an

automated transcript for just $0.10 per minute. While the accuracy of these transcripts is not as

high as our human transcription service, these files are returned in a matter of minutes.

• Rev gives customers the ability to integrate with cloud based storage platforms and FTP

(e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) so that they can easily place orders with Rev without

ever leaving their existing suite of tools.

Cost Proposal and Speed of Completion

For rates, please see the pricing table listed below.

Rev believes in providing great quality and fast turnaround without gouging the customer with

exorbitant prices. Because of this, our standard turnaround time is 24 hours at a flat rate of

$1.00/minute. We just released a Rush turnaround option in Q1 2019 for files that require an even

faster turnaround time.

Though our quoted turnaround time is 24 hours, Rev usage history for the past 12 months shows

we consistently can deliver files less than 60 minutes in duration back to the customer within an

8 hour period. Because we utilize a 100% human based service, we may experience limited

outliers outside of this window.

We ensure 99% accuracy through multiple procedures starting with our Revver network. To ensure

the best quality, we ensure only the best transcriptionists/captionists are hired. Less than 10% of all applicants are hired. Once hired, Revvers undergo a rigorous training process to further

hone Revver skillset. In addition to a high quality Revver workforce, we add multiple

layers of automated checks and tools to further increase Revver quality, as well as check for

mistakes, misspellings, grammar, and other identified pitfalls. Once completed, work is sent

through our senior Revver team for an additional QA review before being okayed for customer

delivery. Rev's Revver network has over 20,000 highly vetted transcriptionists/captionists, each

with their own specialization and distinct skill set that ensure Rev is able to handle

specialized jargon and otherwise difficult files.

Once a file is delivered, clients have the ability to rate the quality of work. If a file is rated three

or less, the Revver is barred from ever working with the client again and a rating of one star

automatically triggers additional QA review from our team.

Rev Confirms that client will be notified immediately through the email on file within the three-

day turnaround window should a file be deemed unworkable. Rev will not return work to a client

that is deemed poor quality, however, we may have to cancel jobs if it is deemed unworkable. If

that should be the case, the client is alerted via the user email that the file quality is too poor to

complete. This is exceptionally rare, however, our return rate on all files received is only 0.14%

Audio Recording

Whether you’re a journalist conducting an interview, a detective speaking

with a witness, or a blogger composing a new piece of content, a voice

recorder is a handy tool to have at your disposal. Rather than carrying around

a separate recording device, you can use a voice recording app on your phone.

Just keep in mind that not all voice recording apps are created equal, and

some have additional functionality that you may find useful like the ability to

order a transcript directly from the app (wink wink, nudge nudge).

We may be a bit biased, but we think the Rev Voice Recorder

app for iPhone and Android is pretty swell (some unbiased reviews that agree

– PCMag, iPhoneness, IOSJailBreakHacks, CreditDonkey). It comes with a

price tag we think you’ll be comfortable with…free!

In a nutshell, the app makes it super easy to record, store and manage high-

quality audio from interviews, meetings, presentations and more. You can

also place transcription orders directly from the app for only $1 per minute.

Page 15: May 23, 2019 Rev.com, Inc. Contact: Nathan Nuñez (415) 212

Rev.com, Inc. 222 Kearny St, STE 800, San Francisco, CA 94108

Rev.com – All Rights Reserved Page 9

Just like orders on our website, your recordings are transcribed by

professionals with 99% accuracy or better and emailed to you in 12 hours or

less if your audio file is under an hour long.

So what else is great about the app?

Organize all your recordings in one place.

With the Rev app, you’ll always have your recordings on-hand. It’s easy to

search for old recordings and share new ones. If you’re a Dropbox user, we

recommend setting up automatic Dropbox sync to make sure your recordings

are backed up and accessible to you and your team. We also have several

additional file-sharing options such as email, text message, Slack, Evernote

and more.

Note: we do not store, share or own your recordings.

Order a transcript on the go.

Rev.com, Inc. 222 Kearny St, STE 800, San Francisco, CA 94108

Rev.com – All Rights Reserved Page 10

Forget the mental burden of emailing yourself audio files, transferring files

with a thumb drive, or looking for cables to connect your recording device to

your computer. Being able to order from your phone helps you get your

transcript back more quickly.

Save money on transcripts by only paying for what you need.

Many meetings and conversations have chatter that you may want ignored in

your transcript. The app makes it easy to trim audio at the beginning or end

of a recording. This feature ensures that you are only paying for what you

need.

View your delivered transcripts directly from the app.

When your transcript is delivered, you’ll receive a copy through email, but

you’ll also be able to view it on your phone. You’ll always have the recording

and transcript together to review on your phone.

Editing Capability

Rev is the #1 provider of transcriptions, video captions, and foreign language subtitles in the market, with

millions of minutes of audio and video transcribed each month. We are also the market leader when it

comes to turnaround time thanks to our team of 20k+ transcriptionists. Our transcriptionists utilize our

proprietary software to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and security for our customers. No other

vendor is capable of handling the volumes that Rev is, while also maintaining consistently high accuracy

and short turnaround times. Also, with the understanding that our customers' needs can vary over time,

Rev's service is 100% use-on-demand; you'll never be locked into contracts or deal with random fees.

Rev supports the following services:

Transcription:

Beyond the process described earlier, Rev believes transcripts shouldn’t be static text. We believe that a

transcript should be an interactive product that aligns with our customers’ workflow. For us, that means

building a suite of powerful tools that enable Rev customers to review, notate, and collaborate on

transcript orders. The goal here is to extend our service beyond just delivering a text transcript and give

customers useful tools that simplify their workflow and keep things in one easy to access place.

These are some highly requested features that we’ve built into our transcripts, and also how customers are

using them to get more value out of their transcript, post-delivery:

• Embedded Media Player

• Sharing

• Highlights & Strikethroughs

• Find and Replace

• Speaker Name Change

• Custom Start Time

• Notes

• Hotkeys

• Ratings

• Download

Take a sample transcript for a test-drive.

This feature times the corresponding video or audio up with the text in the transcript, making it easy to

see everything in one place. It’s a great way to keep a transcript and video in sync when extracting

valuable parts from the text. It is also easy to compare what was said and how it was said. Timestamp

customers can jump around the transcript or video with a simple click. Our transcripts are 99% accurate,

but customers still want to review their transcripts and make certain adjustments to things like speaker

names and special terminologies; our embedded media player makes these adjustments painless.

Rev.com, Inc. 222 Kearny St, STE 800, San Francisco, CA 94108

Rev.com – All Rights Reserved Page 12

Sharing

Our customers often work in teams or work with clients to collaborate on selecting specific quotes or to

discuss materials. Customers can easily share the transcript with others via our Share feature in a few

simple steps:

• Click Share at the top right to send transcript by email or link

• Others can view or edit the transcript with all the awesome tools in our online interface

• Their edits are automatically saved for you to view later on

Page 19: May 23, 2019 Rev.com, Inc. Contact: Nathan Nuñez (415) 212

Rev.com, Inc. 222 Kearny St, STE 800, San Francisco, CA 94108

Highlights and Strikethroughs

These two features make it possible to select important details and quotes from a transcript with the

following simple actions:

• Highlight important text > Export your transcript with highlight markups

• Strikethrough unwanted text > Export your document, minus strikethroughs

Find and Replace

Rev makes it easy to find keywords in your transcript and replace them individually or all at once.

• Click the magnifying glass icon on the top left to display the search bar

• In the search box, type the text that you want to find

Page 20: May 23, 2019 Rev.com, Inc. Contact: Nathan Nuñez (415) 212

Rev.com, Inc. 222 Kearny St, STE 800, San Francisco, CA 94108

Rev.com – All Rights Reserved Page 14

• Any instances of the found text will be highlighted and can be replaced easily

Speaker Name Change

Need to make quick edits to the speaker names? Simply hover over the speaker name and click on the edit

icon. You can make either changes to a specific name or apply the changes to all the names in the entire

transcript.

Custom Start Time

We also understand our customer’s need to adjust the transcript timecode to match the burnt-in timecode

for ease of video editing and production. For timestamp customers who want to set a new start time in the

transcript, we offer an offset feature. Customers can easily customize their timecodes by setting a new

start time and instantly see the timecode changes in the transcript and media player.

Rev.com – All Rights Reserved Page 15

Notes

Oftentimes, customers want to make some notes about their transcript without making any edits to the

actual transcript text. To make this easier, we’ve added a notes box at the right side of every transcript

where teams can add comments. Many customers use the notes feature to:

• Gather material: examples and quotes

• Help jog the memory: note-to-self

• Make comments about important sections of the transcript

Hotkeys

We understand our customers’ need to quickly navigate the transcript along with the media player and we

help support that with hotkeys. With hotkeys that enable play, pause, and skip back in the media player,

customers can easily review their transcript with audio without moving back and forth between the text

and the media player. Highlight and strikethroughs can also be done efficiently with hotkeys.

Ratings

It’s important that every customer is satisfied with the output of their transcript. We encourage our

customers to take advantage of our star rating request and open feedback box upon review of every

transcript to let us know how we’re doing and give us an opportunity to take action if any issues are

present.

Download

Our customizable download feature gives customers the freedom to get their transcript in the format they

need.

• Option to remove speaker name, timecode

• Option to download in different file formats including MS Word, PDF, and txt files

Captions:

Using our captions tools, customers can login, locate any completed caption file, and launch the CPEdit tool. Within the tool, customers can:

• Preview their caption files as it would appear on a video player. • Make adjustments. Customers can edit the spelling, grammar, timing, and display of

captions. • Save any edits made to a version you control. • Apply various post-processing modifications. • Select from a variety of output formats and immediately download.

Our aim is to consciously expand our value to customers. We have built the CPEdit tool to simplify using captions and enable easy adjustments that better match their need. At Rev, we guarantee 99% accuracy for our video captioning service, but we understand that as a

customer, you may want to make small modifications to files before pushing them live. These

modifications include editing the timing of captions so they appear on-screen longer, as well as fixing the

spelling of complicated names or highly-technical jargon. You may also want a simple way to preview the captions on your videos.

With these workflow preferences in mind, our team built a robust captions editor that Rev customers have

free access to. We plan to use feedback to constantly improve the editor over time, but we’ll walk you

through some of the key features that customers have access to today. (If you’re not currently a Rev

customer, you can test out the sandbox version of our captions editor.)

We’ve incorporated basic features into the captions editor such as draggable timing adjustments, editable

caption groups, spell check, and find and replace to make proofreading easier and faster. We’ve also built

in some pretty cool advanced features that are outlined below.

Automated Features

There are many common changes that Rev customers routinely make. We’ve automated these changes to

be “single-click” to save you time:

• Change or remove atmospherics, like (gentle piano music)

Page 25: May 23, 2019 Rev.com, Inc. Contact: Nathan Nuñez (415) 212

Rev.com, Inc. 222 Kearny St, STE 800, San Francisco, CA 94108

Rev.com – All Rights Reserved Page 19

• Replace casual words with formal (“gonna” → “going to”)

• Apply UK English spelling (“color” → “colour”)

• Remove gaps between captions

• Set a new start time and offset all captions

To create a more customized experience, personal preferences can be saved in the editor and

automatically applied to your future captions orders.

Download options

Once you’re finished making adjustments to your captions in the editor, you can download several

different file formats. Formats include common file types such as Subrip (.srt) files and more customized

formats like Facebook-ready .srt files that are automatically named according to Facebook’s naming

requirements.

Sharing Capabilities

If someone else needs to edit your captions, you can use the “share” feature to provide them with a link to

access your captions and the editor. They’ll have editing access to that video only.

Today, customers will be greeted with a more diverse set of options at checkout. In addition to uploading files and pasting URL’s, customers can select from an Integrations menu that includes Youtube and Vimeo.

With this new integration, customers can: • Easily select videos individually or in batch at checkout • Search for videos within your YouTube and Vimeo accounts • Place orders automatically as videos are uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo • Push captions to your channel automatically as soon as videos are captioned by Rev

At Rev, we understand that a lot goes into creating video content. Beyond production, it’s also important

to consider how to caption video content and where to host it. After YouTube, Vimeo is the second most

popular video hosting channel. With this in mind, we built seamless caption integrations for Vimeo

and YouTube.

Why caption videos?

Adding closed captions to videos is considered to be a best practice for many reasons. Most of all,

captions improve accessibility and SEO ensuring that video content reaches a wider audience.

What’s the easiest way to caption videos?

The easiest way to caption videos is to do it yourself or to use a captions integration. As an approved

captions and subtitles partner for both YouTube and Vimeo, we offer a full-service caption

integration with their video hosting platforms. Just choose the integration option when ordering captions

on rev.com and all of your public videos will be available for captioning. You can pull them directly from

your YouTube or Vimeo accounts to Rev.

What are the benefits of using our captions integration?

Not only are videos captioned by professionals but those captions are uploaded directly to your video the

second they are done, eliminating a lot of time-consuming admin work.

How to use Rev’s Integrations for Closed Captions (7 Steps)

1) Go to the Order Captions page.

2) Click “YouTube” or “Vimeo” to use our integration.

Patty: 00:09 Really, just stumbled on them through a website where they post medical transcription jobs, and this other company was out there saying, hey, we're looking for transcriptionists, and I clicked on it. It moved very quickly, like within less than a week I was already working.

Jeff: 00:24 Rev is, first and foremost, a translation and transcription agency, and flexibility is extremely important to me as a student. We can claim jobs as we like, or we can not claim jobs, if we don't have time to do them.

Ginger: 00:37 I'm getting paid to transcribe these, and I'm learning things. I've typed sermons, some great, inspiring sermons, and I'm getting to do all this fun stuff, and I'm learning, and that is just a tremendous experience.

Judith: 00:54 I like the challenge of a word. And the most challenging part of my job is when I am transcribing something and they use a word that I don't know. I look it up and I want to make sure I know what it is, that it fits the context of the sentence, and then I try to ... and I do this with my kids, I try to use it.

Jeff: 01:12 I feel like I've gotten to know sort of Rev as a company, and the executives, even, at Rev, and it's nice to have that more personal connection even though it's such a big company.

Ginger: 01:23 You know what, they're real people. They're real people, and I like that. They're real people and they treat you like a real person.

Patty: 01:28 I really was shocked. Like, I called my husband and said, hey, not only did I get a job, but I've already earned money today. What do you think of that? You know, you're always kind of weary about anything that says work from home. It's, you know, kind of got a negative connotation to it, and everybody thinks it's a scam, and ... but Rev is not. It's not a scam. I truly get paid every week, which is also fantastic.

Jeff: 01:49 I did recently purchase a house in Urbana, and that was a big commitment, a large part of which was financed by my work with Rev. It's been great, not only in the here and the now sort of for the income, but also as a professional development thing. It's invaluable as far as what it's gonna do for my job security and my options when I get out of school and start, you know, start looking for full time work.

Patty: 02:15 I don't miss school appointments or school plays or that kind of thing. We don't miss soccer practice, we don't miss soccer games. Those are benefits that you can't get in an office.

Ginger: 02:26 I get to work for a living, earn some money, work for a company I like, and pursue my passion, which is writing. And I'm not sure how it can get much better than that.

Mojo Makers, a full-service digital distribution company, cut the amount of time it takes to produce premium quality caption files from 16 to 6 hours by working with Rev.

Key Takeaways

By using Rev for a first-take on creating closed caption files, Mojo Makers is able to: • Cut the amount of time spent captioning movies in half • Save money on closed caption production • Deliver faster turnaround time to their clients

The Background

As experts in media distribution, the team at Mojo Makers works on getting popular films like “American Hustle” and “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” in front of massive audiences. They handle every aspect of streaming media distribution, from quality control to the film submission process.

If you want your film to be hosted on any of the most popular video streaming platforms, like Netflix or iTunes, you’ll need to ensure that it meets each platform’s standards. One important, and manditory step in getting movies prepped for streaming is creation of the closed caption file. If you want to expand your market reach, localizing your title with subtitles is a key step to offering your product across multiple territories.

According to Mike Edwards, VP of Operations at Mojo Makers, “For our customers, we facilitate full service archive, asset management, and digital distribution. We can localize their films with subtitles, artwork, and metadata. Our customers come to us and say, ‘I’ve got these assets. I need them to go to these places, and I need help getting into those places,’ and we facilitate that for them.

“The price point is great and the turnaround time is fast. The quality of captions that come from Rev is consistent and good. We can plan our workflows and better predict the amount of time a project will take. This helps control cost and scheduling, the results make the facility run a lot smoother.

We have delivered to 200+ platforms globally; we can create assets for and deliver to any platform out there.”

The Challenge

Today, premium streaming services have increasingly high standards on captions and subtitles. There’s no room for sub-par captions. To improve accessibility, caption files must be accurate, timed and aligned properly. If captions don’t pass the test, your content simply will not make it to those platforms.

The average feature-length film runs about 100 minutes in length. Adding captions to a movie of that length once took the in-house team at Mojo about 15 hours to complete. They were spending too much of their time and valuable resources on preparing captions and subtitles for their clients.

As a solution, they tried to outsource captioning work to a few different companies but for the money they were spending, the quality just wasn’t there.

“We needed a higher percentage of accuracy than they were providing us for the cost. We would have to fully QC the entire caption file by reading every caption block and look for correct placement; this takes hours to do. Then we would have to create a fully detailed QC report just to go back to the vendor to get the errors fixed. It just was too difficult to do.”

The Solution

Eventually, Mike and the Mojo team found Rev. With Rev, closed captions cost only $1 per audio minute with 99% accuracy and 24-hour turnaround guaranteed.

By relying on Rev to provide a first-take on caption file creation, Mike has cut the amount of time his team spends QC’ing movies in half. Here’s more on what he has to say about the process.

“If we have a customer that needs captions created and they do not have a script, we send it to Rev.We will create a proxy and upload it to Rev instead of handing that project off to a captioner and bottlenecking our workflow. In a couple days we’ll get back a caption file that is complete, timed, and is pretty close.

Then we hand the Rev file to a technician, they go through and watch the entire movie, and correct it as they go. A caption create can take 10 to 16 hours, depending on the type of movie it is. Working with Rev knocks that down to under six hours, without much additional cost.

The price point is great and the turnaround time is fast. We think the quality that comes from Rev is consistent and good. With Rev we can plan our workflows and better predict the amount of time a project will take. This helps control cost and scheduling, the results make the facility run a lot smoother.”

Andrew JuhlData Analyst

The ChallengeFor market research firms, transcripts are essential to objectivity and preventing researcher bias when analyzing focus groups or interviews. If a firm has a high volume of audio recordings, it’s either an expensive or lengthy process to get transcripts of every session. Most transcription companies charge extra fees for rush orders, which is anything faster than the standard 3-5 business day turnaround time. With pressure from clients to deliver research results as fast as possible, waiting on a transcript becomes a major bottleneck in a project.

Vernon Research Group was spending too much time waiting on transcripts of their sessions to be delivered. These transcripts were necessary so they could begin coding, analyzing, and presenting the findings of their research to their clients. Not only was their transcription provider, Atomic Scribe, charging rush delivery fees, but their rate also went up an additional $0.35-0.50 per audio minute for multiple speakers and difficult audio; those costs added up.

The SolutionFor Vernon Research Group, Rev delivers transcripts within 24 hours for files under 60 minutes. We guarantee 99% accuracy and don’t charge extra fees for multiple speakers or poor audio quality. Rev’s simple pricing and faster turnaround time hasallowed Vernon Research Group to deliver projects in eight weeks, a process that used to take ten.

Another positive is that with Rev, transcripts are delivered as they are finished. That means if Andrew Juhl, a data analyst at VRG, submits multiple audio recordings, he can get to work as soon as the first file is transcribed.

“I like that work orders come back piecemeal as they’re done. If I submit 12 audio recordings, once the first one comes back, I can start getting to work on coding and doing the work on my end. I don’t have to wait for all 12 to come back,” said Juhl.

To keep our pricing straightforward, these are the same fees, turnaround time and accuracy guarantee we promise to allcustomers. Our transcription pricing would be beneficial to any market research company dealing with large amounts of audio and demanding deadlines. We’re ready to transcribe your files today, no lead time or minimum contracts required.
