Rev is an investigative intelligence and legal transcription service that turns recordings, documents, and photos into citable findings. The software analyzes all of a case's files at once with citations, edits and clips transcripts, drafts case documents with export to Word or PDF, and finds people or details across photos. Human-verified services sit alongside it: human transcription is 99%+ accurate and guaranteed in 12 hours or less, legal rough drafts arrive in 3 days, legal premium transcripts in 5 days, and global subtitles cover 17 languages.
Criminal prosecutors and defense attorneys, law enforcement teams, civil litigators, and court reporting agencies are the primary users, and more than 2,000 law firms and agencies rely on it. Newsrooms, journalists, researchers, educators, and video distributors use the captioning and transcription side. Developers can reach the speech-to-text API and docs on rev.ai. Security is a selling point for privileged work, with encryption, access controls, and audited compliance described for teams that handle sensitive evidence.
A prosecutor facing an evidence backlog can upload body camera audio and interviews, search them with citations, and clip key moments for hearings. A defense team can review discovery, catch inconsistencies, and use AI templates to draft chronologies or affidavits. Court reporting agencies move from instant drafts to certify-ready transcripts, and depositions can be summarized with page and line accuracy through SmartDepo. Field investigators record and analyze interviews on the mobile app, and a journalist can order captions in English or Spanish.
