Rev is famous for professional human transcription with legal certification. But for YouTube videos that already feature accurate closed captions, paying Rev $1.99 per minute is an unnecessary expense.
YouTubeTranscript.pro is instantaneous and free (10 credits/mo), extracting native YouTube captions in 5 seconds. Rev charges $0.25/min for automated and $1.99/min for human transcription ($120 for a 1-hour video).
