Online application is do-it-yourself. They tell you to type someone about yourself without telling you it's part of the application. You take some tests for spelling and punctuation. Then they give you three hours to caption a video using their system. As you go through it, you learn a bit about the timing. I know I got all my questions correct and I type close to 60 wpm and have excellent grammar and spelling. I worked very hard on the captioning and sent it back, thinking it was just about perfect after watching it over several times. They say they will get back to you in a week but I must have caught them on a bad day because a few hours later they told me to pound sand. No indication what I did wrong. If you do not have a doctorate in video captioning, save yourself the trouble. For them to expect perfection on a first try is ridiculous.

It was all online. You read their instructions, watched a video and then proceeded to do a test captioning assignment.
I had never done captioning before, but they didn't list this as an obstacle. Yet, even though I had no experience, they turned me down without giving specific reasons. "We are only able to approve freelancers who demonstrate the highest captioning standards." But I had never done it before!
In any case, I feel like I dodged a bullet, since most reviews here say the pay is awful. I was only looking for some extra income. The work is tedious, so if you don't get paid well, it doesn't really seem worth it. NEXT!

This is/was an independent contractor position. The selection process consisted of a short grammar and language test, plus captioning a 90 sec. video. They provided a style guide for convenience. The company's "Dash" software is integrated into web browsers. Once initial application is reveiewed, an invitation was sent to complete a second and third test video. Communication and review of application occurred quickly (4-6 hours). Jobs were sent to me soon after I passed the second test. The test was not tricky, but required adherence to their style guide, strong language and some technical skills (typing/media).

Watch a video that details how to caption videos, then you caption one yourself. If you do a good job, you're moved on to the next round and asked to complete the captions for two different videos. You do have a deadline to complete these videos.
I emailed Rev four times about my Dash editor (the captioning software they use) not working for the final video and continued to receive an automated response from them. Thus, I was unable to complete my final video and be considered as a viable applicant.
Overall, I think I would've enjoyed doing this part-time. Unfortunate they can't get their tool working correctly; they're missing out on great talent.
