Rev AI

Rev AI is a speech recognition and transcription API platform from Rev.com that delivers high-accuracy AI-powered speech-to-text for pre-recorded audio and real-time streaming. The platform supports asynchronous batch transcription, real-time streaming via WebSocket, topic extraction, sentiment analysis, language identification, forced alignment, and custom vocabulary to improve accuracy. Rev AI uses Bearer token authentication and offers pay-as-you-go pricing starting at $0.10/hour for Reverb Turbo transcription, plus a free tier of 5 hours of credits for new accounts. Official SDKs are available for Python, Node.js, and Java through the revdotcom GitHub organization.

human only

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Rev AI the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 7 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Rev AI scores 34.4/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Rev AI

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Rev AI. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 7

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Rev AI Asynchronous Speech-to-Text API

Batch transcription API for pre-recorded audio files supporting uploads up to 2 GB (multipart) or 5 TB (source URL), with results typically available within 15 minutes.

Rev AI Streaming Speech-to-Text API

Real-time speech transcription via WebSocket connections supporting up to 10 concurrent streams with a 3-hour time limit per stream.

Rev AI Topic Extraction API

Extracts key topics and insights from transcripts generated by the Rev AI speech-to-text pipeline.

Rev AI Sentiment Analysis API

Provides sentiment insights for transcripts, priced at $0.0008 per 10 words analyzed.

Rev AI Language Identification API

Detects the spoken language of audio input, priced at $0.003 per minute.

Rev AI Forced Alignment API

Aligns existing transcripts with audio for precise word-level timestamps, priced at $0.003 per minute.

Rev AI Custom Vocabulary API

Allows submission of custom vocabulary lists to improve transcription accuracy for domain-specific terminology.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

PLANS

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Rev Ai Rate Limits

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
