Looking for an alternative to Rev transcriptions? One with more features, uncompromising speed and accuracy — and is also an accessibility tool? Here are a few reasons why organizations choose Ava (and why you might, too).
#1. Ava is built by the Deaf Community, for the Deaf Community
That means each and every feature is designed with accessibility first. Ava was created by Skinner (born Deaf) and Thibault (born in a Deaf family) to bridge daily communication gaps between Deaf & hearing worlds. Ava’s mission is to empower 450M Deaf & hard-of-hearing people with a fully accessible life, while Rev isn’t centered around the Deaf community.
#2. Read the room with SpeakerID
Ava is the only real-time captions and transcriptions service that tells you who is speaking. When using Rev captions, all speakers appear as one in a large paragraph of text, making it difficult to follow the conversation. With Ava’s first-of-its-kind speaker identification technology for live captions, each speaker is color-coded and labeled — ensuring you keep up with the conversation in real-time.
#3. Captions that Integrate directly into your online meetings
It’s annoying to figure out the different captioning tools that work directly in Zoom, Google Meets, and Microsoft Teams. Each solution offers a different quality level, with different controls, and doesn’t let you respond with text-to-speech or scroll back in the conversation. With Ava, you can integrate directly into each online call with Ava Connect. Rev only integrates with Zoom, which leaves you high and dry in all the other online meetings.
#4. Captions available anytime, anywhere
Need live captions during a meeting on your laptop? What about captions when you’re chatting to a classmate during a group project? Ava’s the only set of apps that goes with you 24/7. Available on the web, a floating caption desktop app, or on mobile, Ava is with you anywhere you go. You don’t have to carry your laptop with you for your coffee break like Rev. Just open Ava on mobile and you instantly have live captions for any conversation.
#5. Features with you in mind
When creating every feature, Ava is thinking about the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. When using live captions with Rev, you’re unable to talk back in the conversation — always making it one-sided. With Ava, you can use Ava Voice to talk back in the conversation and type back a response. And Ava Voice offers natural-sounding voices for its text-to-speech responses. Ava also has an adjustable desktop app meaning you can customize your captioning experience over any web browser or media. Rev has a one-size-fits-all solution, which in fact, does NOT fit all.
