Certified Electronic Transcriber (CET)
We’re so excited to have you on our team as we create the future of Rev. As you know, our mission is to unlock the full power of human speech. Why? Because we believe in bridging the gap between individuals, communities, and global audiences, and fueling connections and experiences that drive meaningful change. Simply put … every voice deserves to be heard. We built the most accurate Speech-to-Text ASR in the world that surpasses our competitors across: 75 languages and counting; dialects; genders and subject matters. We did this because in a world where so much is said and yet so much goes unheard – we believe every perspective is not only valuable, but critical. And while that’s our technology, that is also our culture. We didn’t transform the speech technology space by following the status quo. We did it by bringing perspectives to the table that were different from ours, and ensuring they had the freedom and responsibility to create, innovate, and transform our product and how we serve our customer. As a part of the Rev team, the work that you will do will propel these efforts and continue to help us best serve our customers. It’s an exciting time to join Rev!
