    NCH Software
    It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

    Rev is a fantastic resource for companies who are looking for captions or transcripts. Ordering transcripts can save a lot of time from trying to summarize meetings yourself. And captions provide a company the ability to expand the group of people who can access their products. We put a lot of our training in courses created in Kajabi. Rev offers burned-in and .srt files, so the .srt files are perfect for Kajabi! We are only a US-based company right now, but it can help with accessibility with language barriers too because Rev offers captions in SOOOO many different languages

    Cons
    NCH Software
    • Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh
    • Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so
    • Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal

    Return on Investment
    NCH Software
    • Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said)
    • Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money
    • Low cost of software
