If @rev ever needs a raving testimonial, let me know. Captioning is a nightmare and it took 17min and $3 for them to do it. Incredible.

Just want to give @rev a shout out for the work they did on two of my short films. They got them captioned ASAP and the turnaround was just 2 hours! Amazing service. I'm keeping these guys on my radar for future work.

Equal - equal access requires that the meaning and intention of the material is completely preserved.
