Confirmed
Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.
Human approval
You spot-check before publishing.
Watch out for
Keep the human approval step: You spot-check before publishing.

What we checked (2026-10-17)
Rev API is a REST API for placing and tracking orders and downloading finished captions. It has separate endpoints for human caption orders and AI caption orders, webhooks for order status, and a sandbox for testing.
Pricing starts at $1.99 per minute for human services and $0.25 per minute for AI services. The free plan doesn’t include API access. Essentials adds it.
Turnaround times aren’t listed in the sources we checked, so check them when you order.
Rev has no official MCP server.
Set it up
Export the finished video from your editor, whether Synthesia, PlayPlay or anything else.
Order human captions for anything public-facing, or AI captions for internal clips.
Download the caption file and upload it with the video, rather than burning captions in. Separate files are easier to fix.
Spot-check names, product terms and numbers before publishing.
When volume grows, move ordering to the API and use the webhook to know when captions are ready.
