Rev accepts applications while operating a waitlist. Applicants complete a skills assessment and sample; computer access, reliable internet and strong English are required.
Transcription, caption and subtitle applications; subtitles also require the target language.
Per audio/video minute, Rev lists transcription at $0.40–$1.10, captions at $0.54–$1.10, subtitles at $1.70–$4.00+ depending on language, and legal transcription at $0.55–$2.00+.
Currency unspecified; these are recording minutes, not hours worked. Legal transcription is aimed at people with legal experience and US legal terminology familiarity. Approved work is paid weekly through PayPal; applications remain subject to a waitlist.
Selected public accounts. Experiences are self-reported.
Transcription: uneven work supply
Accounts cover 2024-02-07 – 2025-08-04
Accounts published in 2024–2025 describe fluctuating work and waiting for suitable files. A positive long-term contributor also describes work ebbing and flowing, while others value flexible hours and previewing audio before accepting it.
Selected transcription accounts on Indeed. These historical reports do not establish the current queue or an individual applicant’s prospects.
Two January–February 2024 contributors describe strict grading. A December 2025 legal-transcription account describes very low earnings while learning the style guide.
Individual accounts; very low training earnings does not mean training is unpaid. Another November 2023 reviewer reports payments arriving on time.
