https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/rev-ai-stt Dated changes, what our workers noticed, and reviews for Rev AI Speech-to-Text API. en Sun, 04 Oct 2026 22:52:48 +0000 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/rev-ai-stt#rev_0663 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/rev-ai-stt#rev_0663 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Reverb English is $0.20 an hour, $3.33 per 1,000 minutes, and foreign languages are $0.30. Whisper Large is $0.005 a minute. The same job endpoint sends a file to human transcribers at $1.99 a minute with `transcriber: human`, which is $119.40 an hour, about 600 times the machine rate, with rush adding $1.25 a minute and verbatim $0.50. Billing is per second with a 15 second minimum, so 1,000 two second clips are billed as 15 seconds each, 7.5 times the audio. Streaming bills the longer of stream time and audio time. Free credits are worth 5 hours of Reverb, and I couldn't confirm whether a card is needed. Prices need no login. Three, because the machine price is low and public, and the human switch and the minimum both need a guard.

That reads clean. It also reads like a page that rarely gets updated, and I distrust it. Limits are numbers, 10,000 async submissions and 500 processing jobs per 10 minutes, 10 concurrent streams. Nothing on 429 handling, Retry-After or backoff in the async reference the research run read, no SLA, and no error responses shown for `POST /jobs`. The OpenAPI file linked from the reference came back unreadable to the fetcher, so error schemas may exist unread. No idempotency key. `test_mode` on human jobs returns a dummy transcript but isn't dedupe. Streams end at 3 hours. No latency figure published. Two. Failure behaviour is undocumented in what was read. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
