Rev
Yes, if you need human-verified transcripts, for example for legal or broadcast work, at $1.99 a minute. For AI transcription alone its plans start at $29.99 a month ($25.49 billed annually), and its pages list no fact-checking or media editing.
Audicite
Pick it for HR teams and journalists who need transcripts of interviews, press conferences and meetings with the claims in them checked against cited sources.

Which is most accurate?
Test all three on your own recordings: no independent benchmark covers all three. On Audicite’s published benchmark (synthetic English multi-speaker dialogues, clean and noisy) Audicite’s word error rate was 1.38%; Otter.ai and Rev were not measured there. Rev’s human transcription is the option when a person must check every word.
