Dailies vs RevThe Rev alternative when your clips are for an audience, not for a case file
Rev and Dailies both cut clips out of a longer recording, for uses that could hardly be further apart. Rev now presents itself as a platform for legal and investigative teams: it transcribes the audio and video files they upload, and suggests clips of a video so that a passage of evidence can be found and cited. Dailies is for people who want to post what they say: it records the calls they hold in Chrome and cuts captioned vertical shorts from the best passages, ready to post. Rev also keeps its human transcription, caption and subtitle services. Dailies does none of that.
Checked against Rev’s own site on October 1, 2026.

What Rev does
Rev is a transcription platform that now presents itself as an investigative intelligence platform for legal and investigative teams, and keeps its human transcription, caption and subtitle services. Its main input is the audio and video files you upload. When you open a video file in its transcript editor, Suggested Clips has already picked clips, each with a title, a thumbnail and a length; you can also save a clip by highlighting part of a transcript, and download the video, the transcript or both. Captions and subtitles come as separate files by default, and an add-on burns them into the video, with a choice of font, size, colour and background. Rev Notetaker is a bot that joins Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Webex meetings from a connected calendar or a pasted link, to transcribe them and write summaries with action items. French is among its AI transcription and caption languages; human transcription is in English only.
Where Dailies and Rev differ
Clips for a case, shorts for a feed
Rev’s Suggested Clips are presented for case evidence: excerpts of an uploaded video, each with a title, a thumbnail and a length, which you download or share as a link to the transcript at that time range. We found no vertical 9:16 format, no reframing on the speaker and no social format on the pages we read. Dailies’ shorts are made to be posted: vertical, reframed on whoever speaks, with a line above each one, the question it answers.
An uploaded file, or the call itself
Rev works on files: you upload the audio or video, and the transcript, captions and clips are made from it. Dailies does not edit a video you upload. It records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam while you talk, on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom in Chrome, and its shorts arrive a few minutes after the call.
A bot that joins, an extension that records
Rev Notetaker is an AI assistant that joins the meeting from your calendar or from a link you paste, to produce a transcript, notes and a summary with action items; the part of its help article we read does not say whether it keeps the meeting’s video. Dailies sends no bot. It records from a Chrome extension.
Two ways of burning in captions
Rev delivers captions and subtitles as separate files, and burns them into the video as an add-on: you choose a font, a size from 8 to 30 points, bold or italic, a colour and a background. We found no animated caption style on the pages we read. Dailies burns animated captions into every short, in one of fifteen styles, after removing silences, filler words and false starts.
Questions people ask
Can Rev make clips from a video?
Yes, from a video file you upload. Suggested Clips picks clips when you open the file in the transcript editor, each with a title, a thumbnail and a length, and you can save your own by highlighting part of the transcript. Rev presents them for case evidence. We found no vertical or social format for them on the pages we read.
Is Rev only for legal teams now?
No, not only. Its homepage now presents Rev as an investigative intelligence platform for legal and investigative teams, with legal transcripts, deposition summaries and evidence analysis. Its human transcription, caption and subtitle services are still there.
Does Rev record Zoom, Google Meet or Teams meetings?
It joins them to transcribe them. Rev Notetaker is a bot that joins Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Webex meetings from a connected Google or Microsoft calendar or a pasted link, and produces a transcript, notes and a summary with action items. The part of its help article we read does not say whether it keeps the meeting’s video.
Does Dailies replace Rev?
No. Dailies makes shorts from the calls it records in Chrome and nothing else: it does not work on files you upload and writes no meeting notes. For a verified transcript, captions made by people or excerpts of evidence, Rev is the right kind of tool.
Does Rev work in French?
Partly. French is in the list of languages for its AI transcription and AI captions, and its subtitles translated from English by people cover 17 languages, French among them. Its human transcription is in English only. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
