Placing an order using Dropbox
Rev’s Dropbox integration will save you time by allowing you to place and receive orders via Dropbox, eliminating the need to visit rev.com. Instead, you’ll interact with Rev via two Dropbox folders:
- One folder places a caption order with Rev whenever a file is dragged into it
- One folder receives completed caption files
Orders placed via the Dropbox integration also receive per-second pricing rather than rounding up to the nearest dollar. For example, a 1.5 minute video costs $1.88 via the Dropbox integration and $2.50 when ordered on rev.com.
In addition, if you are going to place several orders using these folders, you may want to get setup with monthly invoicing. If you use monthly invoicing, this will eliminate receiving a separate charge on your credit card each time you place an order using the folders. To get setup with monthly invoicing, please click here.
To get started, just fill out the form below. There are no charges to use the Dropbox integration. Any questions? Email automation@rev.com
Once you have filled out the above form, we will set up your two Dropbox folders and then send you two emails. One will be for you to accept the folder that we are sharing with you into your Dropbox account and the other email will be a 'Getting Started'. You will then be ready to start using Dropbox to send/receive your caption orders.
Please follow the instructions below regarding placing and receiving your transcription orders through Dropbox.
1) Sending a file for captioning
Go to the login page for Dropbox and log into your account.
2) Locate the folder that Rev created and shared with you.
Once you are logged in to your Dropbox account, you will be on the Home Page. Find the folder that is labelled, Rev - (your email). This folder contains subfolders you will use to send and receive your caption orders from Rev. Put your cursor over the folder and click to open it.
3) Sending a file for caption
When you have opened your Rev folder, you will see two subfolders. The one labelled, 'Send - Rev Caption - (your email)', is the one you will use for uploading and sending your file to Rev. Click on this subfolder to open.
4) Upload your file
Once you are in the 'Send' folder, there are two ways to upload a file to this folder. One, click on 'Upload Files' which is on the far right. This will open up a window to where you can search for the file you want to upload. When you have located the file and clicked on it, your upload will begin. Or, you can locate the file on your computer and drag it into the 'Send' folder in Dropbox.
Once you have completed the above steps, you will receive an email confirmation from Rev.
Receiving your completed transcript from Rev
Once your file has been captioned, you will receive an email notification from Rev.
To find your caption order, log in to your Dropbox account.
Once you are logged in to your Dropbox account, find the folder that is labelled, Rev - (your email). Put your cursor over the folder and click to open it. Then click on the 'Receive - Rev Caption - (your email).
This is where your completed captions will be sent once Rev has completed them. From here, you can open, edit, and even download your caption document.
Placing an order using Google Drive
Rev’s Google Drive integration will save you time by allowing you to place and receive orders via Google Drive, eliminating the need to visit rev.com. Instead, you’ll interact with Rev via two Google Drive folders:
- One folder places a caption order with Rev whenever a file is dragged into it
- One folder receives completed caption files
Orders placed via the Google Drive integration also receive per-second pricing rather than rounding up to the nearest dollar. For example, a 1.5 minute video costs $1.50 via the Google Drive integration and $2.00 when ordered on rev.com.
In addition, if you are going to place several orders using these folders, you may want to get setup with monthly invoicing. If you use monthly invoicing, this will eliminate receiving a separate charge on your credit card each time you place an order using the folders. To get setup with monthly invoicing, please click here.
To get started, just fill out the form below. There are no charges to use the Google Drive integration. Any questions? Email automation@rev.com

Receiving your completed caption from Rev
Once your file has been captioned, you will receive an email notification from Rev.
To find your caption order, go to your Google Drive.

This is where your completed captions will be sent once Rev has completed them. From here, you can open, edit, and even download your caption document.
Placing an order using Amazon S3
Rev’s Amazon S3 integration will save you time by allowing you to place and receive orders via S3, eliminating the need to visit rev.com. All you have to do is choose two buckets to share with Rev.
- One bucket places a caption order with Rev whenever a file is dragged into it
- One bucket receives completed caption files
Orders placed via the S3 integration also receive per-second pricing rather than rounding up to the nearest dollar. For example, a 1.5 minute video costs $1.50 via the S3 integration and $2.00 when ordered on rev.com.
In addition, if you are going to place several orders using these folders, you may want to get setup with monthly invoicing. If you use monthly invoicing, this will eliminate receiving a separate charge on your credit card each time you place an order using the folders. To get setup with monthly invoicing, please click here.
To get started, just fill out the form below. You’ll need to tell us which buckets you’d like to to place orders from and which bucket you’d like to receive your caption files in. Buckets will need to be accessible to Rev - see below.
There are no charges to use the S3 integration. Any questions? Email automation@rev.com
S3 bucket policy (header)
For the integration to work, your S3 buckets must be accessible by Rev. You can either make them publicly accessible or allow access to Rev.
To allow access to Rev, your bucket policy should look like this.
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Id": "RevBucketPolicy",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "RevBucketPolicyFiles",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::414502572119:root"
},
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::MY-BUCKET/*"
},
{
"Sid": "RevBucketPolicyBucket",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::414502572119:root"
},
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::MY-BUCKET"
}
]
}
Note that there are two statements in the policy. The first statement affects keys within the bucket, while the second part affects the bucket itself. This grants Rev the ability to get the location of the bucket, list files in the bucket, and download files from the bucket.
There is only one change you will have to make to this bucket policy before it's ready to go. Replace MY-BUCKET with the name of your bucket. Leave the /* at the end of the line, as that will apply the policy to every file within the bucket. The rest of the policy can be left alone and it will work fine. Amazon's documentation contains more information about the elements of a Bucket Policy.
If you'd like to build your own Bucket Policy, you can use Amazon's Policy Generator. Use arn:aws:iam::414502572119:root as the AWS Principal to allow Rev access.
To set this policy for your S3 account, go to the AWS Console. Select your bucket on the left side of the screen, then click "properties". Expand the "Permissions" item, and click "Add/Edit bucket policy". Copy the policy above and paste it in and save.
When you have completed the above form, we will set up your Amazon S3 / Rev integration. Once we have set up your integration, you will receive an email confirmation on 'Getting Started'.
Placing an order using the API
If you've read over our technical documentation and believe the Rev API is a good fit for your needs, follow the steps below to get started.
- Make sure you have a Rev account. If you don't have a Rev account, you can create one here.
- Make sure you're a Corporate Customer. This means you'll receive a monthly invoice rather than pay for each transaction. If you'd like to convert your account to a Corporate Account, please email sales@rev.com.
- Go to https://www.rev.com/api and click on the red button that says "Sign up for API Access Now." This will generate an email with sandbox user and client keys and instructions about integrating with our sandbox environment.
- Integrate with our sandbox environment. Email us at apionboarding@rev.com to let us know you have completed a successful sandbox integration.
- We'll send you production API user and client keys, and you're good to go!
