Premium Transcription takes Rev’s Standard Transcription Service and elevates it to a higher quality.
Here is a quick guide to help you understand the differences between Rev’s Standard and Premium Transcription and when it’s best to choose Premium for your audio content.
How It Works
With Premium Transcription, once your initial transcript is complete, an expert review is done by one of our best transcriptionists. The benefit is a higher quality file, though the process for completing a second review means that your file takes longer to complete than with Standard Transcription.
Premium Transcription price is in addition to Standard Transcription.

Professional Speaker Name Reconciliation
Long files are split into multiple segments so that our team of transcriptionists can work on them at the same time. We then combine the segments and deliver them to you in a single document. Because of this, Standard Transcription speaker names may be inconsistent for files over 30 minutes. With Premium Transcription, the speaker names are corrected to be consistent throughout the entire file during the expert review.
Include Resources
If you have resource documents that you want to include with your order, you will have the option to upload the files when placing a Premium Transcription order. The transcriptionist who works on your file will use the documents as a reference. Some examples of resources may include:
- Glossary/terminology documents
- Scripts
Burned-In Timecode
When you include the timestamps add-on with your Standard Transcription order, your transcript will include timestamps that start at 00:00:00. With Premium Transcription, you have the option for timestamps to start from the on-screen timecode burned into your video instead of zero. This applies to video files that have on-screen timecode only.
The on-screen timecode must run consistently. At this time, we do not support time jumps.
Custom Requirements for Enterprise Customers
Enterprise customers can work with their account manager to add special instructions to their orders. Some examples of special instructions may include:
- Replacing speaker names with customized labels
- Using specific conventions such as acronyms vs full terms
