Data Transfer Guide
Rev does not offer a bulk export tool for transcripts. You must manually download each transcript file individually from your account dashboard. Save them in your preferred format (.txt, .docx, .srt) to a local or cloud folder. For the original media files, ensure you have them saved separately, as Rev may not retain them long-term. Importing into TurboScribe involves two paths: 1) For new transcripts, upload the original audio/video files directly to TurboScribe for processing. 2) For historical reference, you can upload the downloaded text files as static documents to TurboScribe's document storage or a connected cloud service like Google Drive. There is no automated 'import' of editable transcripts from Rev to TurboScribe.
