Data Transfer Guide

Exporting from Rev: Log into your Rev account and navigate to 'My Files.' Select completed transcripts and captions, downloading them in your preferred format (TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT). For bulk exports, use Rev's order history page to select multiple files. Ensure you have original media files saved locally, as Rev may not provide these. Organize exports by project or date. Importing to Trint: Upload original media files to Trint to generate new AI transcripts—this creates fully editable, searchable transcripts. For exported Rev transcript files, upload them as reference documents. Use Trint's folder system to recreate your organizational structure. Note: Trint cannot convert third-party transcript files into its editable transcript format, so regenerating transcripts from source media is recommended for active projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Rev to Trint?+
Yes, but with limitations. You can download Rev transcripts as files and upload them to Trint as reference documents. For editable transcripts, upload original media files to Trint to generate new AI transcripts within the platform.
How long does migration take?+
For small teams, expect 3-5 days including data export, account setup, and training. Enterprise migrations with complex workflows may require 2-3 weeks for full transition and parallel testing.
Will I lose any features switching to Trint?+
You'll gain editing and collaboration tools but shift from service-based to self-service. Trint lacks human transcription service but provides tools for human editing. The workflow change is significant but offers more control.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, running parallel systems for 1-2 weeks is recommended. This allows comparison and ensures Trint meets your needs before canceling Rev. Budget for overlapping subscription costs during this period.
Is Trint cheaper than Rev?+
Cost comparison depends on usage. Trint's subscription model may be more economical for frequent users, while Rev's pay-per-minute suits occasional needs. Calculate based on your monthly transcription volume and editing time.
