She worked for Rev consistently for six to eight months to earn extra income. During her time at Rev, the contractor said she felt stressed out constantly.
Annie Pedrino, a former Rev video captioner from Kansas, said she found questionable objections that graders made in her transcripts, such as docking her for word choice when describing music. She attempted to appeal these mistakes on projects that took her two to six hours to complete. Appeals took a week to come back, and by that time her project had been sent back and she did not get paid for her work.
