Typist vs Rev

Studio-grade AI, without the seat bill.

Rev is enterprise transcription — per-seat AI and human services priced for legal discovery and broadcast. If you're a solo researcher, journalist, or podcaster, Typist gives you three engines on a flat per-account plan: Turbo (Whisper-turbo on Groq), Pro (Whisper v3), and Studio (ElevenLabs Scribe v2).

How we differ

Three things Typist does that Rev doesn't.

Three engines. One plan.

Rev gives you one AI engine per tier. Typist includes Turbo (Whisper-turbo on Groq), Pro (Whisper v3), and Studio (ElevenLabs Scribe v2) in a single Pro plan — pick per file.

Fast enough to match the thought

Turbo runs on Groq infrastructure — 1 hour of audio transcribed in ~30 seconds. Rev's AI is measured in minutes; their human service takes 12–24 hours for turnaround.

Studio accuracy on hard audio

Studio uses ElevenLabs Scribe v2. For interviews, field recordings, and accented speech, it produces transcripts that hold up next to Rev's AI Pro tier — without the per-seat multiplier.
