The completed AI transcripts will live in My Files on rev.com. 

How to improve the accuracy of your transcript with our custom glossary feature:

Rev has built this feature so you can personally impact the quality of your transcripts. By submitting correct spellings of terms or phrases that you think will come up in your audio/video files and that may be difficult to transcribe, you can improve the accuracy of the transcript. Any submitted terms or phrases will be ingested by our speech recognition on all AI transcript orders.

  1. Login to your Rev account.
  2. Select "Manage Glossary" from the left-hand navigation. 
  3. Add one phrase per line (can contain multiple words).
  4. Focus on proper nouns and domain-specific words.
  5. Use only English letters, spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes.
