Create a free Rev account at rev.com—no credit card required. You receive 45 free minutes of AI transcription per month to test the platform with real content. Upload a recent board meeting recording or donor interview to evaluate accuracy and usability before committing to paid plans.

Pro tip: Test both AI and human transcription on the same file during your trial. Upload a 5-minute excerpt, transcribe with AI ($1.25), then upgrade to human transcription ($9.95) to compare accuracy and turnaround time. This helps you decide which service fits different content types (AI for internal notes, human for official documents).

Audit your current transcription needs and categorize by accuracy requirements. Create three lists:

• AI tier (90% accuracy, $15/hour): Internal staff meetings, volunteer training, donor interview drafts, project planning calls
• Human tier (99% accuracy, $120/hour): Board meeting minutes, legal depositions, grant proposals with stakeholder quotes, ADA-compliant video captions
• Free AI Notetaker: Recurring team meetings where real-time notes are sufficient

This mapping prevents overspending on human transcription for content where AI is sufficient and ensures critical documents get the accuracy they need. Most nonprofits find an 80/20 split (80% AI for volume, 20% human for critical content) optimizes costs.

Connect Rev's AI Notetaker to your Google Calendar or Outlook to automatically join and transcribe recurring staff meetings, team standups, or department check-ins. The AI Notetaker detects scheduled meetings, auto-joins with participant notification, records conversations, and delivers instant transcripts with summaries and action items.

This eliminates manual note-taking for routine meetings (saving 30-60 minutes weekly per team) while reserving human transcription budget for quarterly board meetings or annual strategic planning sessions. Configure permissions so only relevant team members access each meeting's transcript for privacy.

Track your transcription spending for 1-2 months on pay-as-you-go pricing. If you're consistently using human transcription, compare subscription savings:

• Essentials Annual (10% off): Saves $12/hour on human transcription—breaks even at ~7 hours/month
• Pro Annual (15% off): Saves $18/hour—best for organizations transcribing 10+ hours monthly
• Unlimited (custom pricing): Contact sales if transcribing 50+ hours monthly—custom nonprofit rates may be available

For budget-conscious nonprofits primarily using AI transcription, stay on pay-as-you-go ($0.25/min) since subscriptions only discount human services. Compare against Sonix's 50% nonprofit discount if most content is AI-transcribed—you may save 50%+ by switching platforms.

Rev offers two distinct services: AI transcription at $0.25/min (~$15/hour) with 95-96% claimed accuracy (independent tests show ~90%), and human transcription at $1.99/min (~$120/hour) with 99% guaranteed accuracy. AI transcripts are delivered in under 5 minutes and work for 37 languages, while human transcripts take 12-16 hours for English-only content but meet ADA compliance standards. Most nonprofits use AI for drafts and internal notes, then upgrade to human transcription for board minutes, legal documents, or grant proposals where 99% accuracy is non-negotiable.

Rev does not currently offer a specific nonprofit discount program like competitors such as Sonix (50% off for 501(c)(3) organizations). However, Rev does offer subscription plans (Essentials and Pro) that provide 3-15% discounts on human transcription services for all users. Nonprofits with high-volume needs can contact Rev's sales team for custom Unlimited plan pricing. Budget-conscious nonprofits should compare Rev's pricing against competitors with nonprofit discounts to determine the best value.

Yes. Both Rev's AI and human transcription services include speaker diarization (automatic speaker separation). The system identifies different speakers and labels them in the transcript. You can edit and customize speaker names after transcription. This feature is essential for board meetings, panel discussions, focus groups, and donor interviews where distinguishing between speakers is critical. Human transcription provides more accurate speaker identification in complex scenarios with overlapping speech or similar-sounding voices.

Rev's AI transcription supports 37 languages including Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, German, Japanese, and Korean. However, human transcription is currently available in English only (with plans to expand). Rev also offers translation services for 11 languages at $6.49-$15.99/min for creating global subtitles. This makes Rev suitable for nonprofits serving multilingual communities, but organizations needing human-quality transcription in languages other than English should consider alternatives like Sonix or Verbit.

Yes. Rev provides legal-grade security including attorney-client confidentiality protections and a commitment not to train third-party AI models on customer data. This makes Rev suitable for sensitive board discussions, legal advocacy documents, confidential donor conversations, and client case management recordings. Rev is trusted by major law firms, the State Bar of Texas, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). However, nonprofits subject to HIPAA or other strict data compliance should verify that Rev's security meets their specific regulatory requirements.

Absolutely. Rev's human captioning service ($1.99/min) guarantees 99% accuracy, which meets ADA Section 508 guidelines for accessibility. AI captions ($0.25/min) are available for budget-conscious projects but may not meet strict compliance standards. You can use Rev to add captions to training videos, webinars, fundraising appeals, and social media content, ensuring your nonprofit's communications are accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. Rev also offers Spanish human captions and translation services for multilingual accessibility.

AI transcription delivers results in under 5 minutes, making it ideal for immediate needs. Human transcription averages 12-16 hours for a 60-minute file, with standard turnaround under 12 hours guaranteed. Rev also offers rush services that deliver up to 5x faster for urgent deadlines. This means you can get a board meeting transcript back the same day if uploaded in the morning, or use AI transcription for instant results when you need to quickly reference a conversation.
