What they are
Rev
Rev transcribes audio and video files using either automated AI or human transcriptionists, returning time-stamped text files, captions, and subtitles. It serves podcasters, journalists, video producers, and educators who need accurate transcripts quickly. Human transcription is notably more accurate than AI for complex audio, but costs more per minute. A free trial lets you test the AI tier before committing.
Teachable
Teachable is a hosted course platform where creators build, market, and sell online courses, coaching programs, and digital downloads. It handles payment processing, student management, and course delivery in one place, making it a practical choice for solo educators and small teams. The tradeoff is that transaction fees apply on lower-tier plans, which quietly erodes revenue until you upgrade.
