Rev AI is the most powerful artificial intelligence tool that I know of that converts speech to text. My guest this week is Dan Kokotov, the co-founder at Rev and currently vice president of engineering. Verbal communication is the most efficient form of communication we humans use, but it isn't easy. Sometimes we cause confusion or even conflict when we accidentally use a word or phrase incorrectly, and that's just within our own language. Now ask a machine to accomplish this very same task. Seems to me to be extremely difficult. What if we tried to do that between languages? As you can imagine, it gets exponentially more complicated. Well, Dan helps us to understand how the A.I. tool works and the fascinating possibilities in this space. It's an amazing conversation. So join us on this week's episode of The QTS Experience.
About Rev AI
"In 2010, five MIT classmates shared a dream: to build a marketplace where skilled freelancers could connect with customers in need of fast, affordable services no matter where either were located. On our mission to bring this vision to life, we tried offering every service from certified translations to math homework help.
Eventually, we discovered our home in the world of speech-to-text.
Staying true to our mission to create great, work-anywhere jobs, Rev has climbed to become the #1 speech-to-text service in the world. By combining our network of 72,000+ (and growing) amazing freelancers with the world’s most accurate speech recognition AI, we’re able to deliver our services at an unprecedented scale—while creating more jobs every day.
It’s that combination of AI and people that makes Rev’s speech-to-text offerings both exceptionally distinct and absolutely unbeatable in terms of quality and scale. When businesses and individuals need the most reliable captions, subtitles, or transcripts at lightning speed, they count on Rev."
