Problem
When I try to transcribe my audio, Audiate tells me it was unable to initialize the speech recognizer.
Solution
This will happen if Audiate cannot connect to our transcription provider. This is most likely a network issue or entitlement problem (such as not having an active subscription).
For help configuring your enterprise network, please see the IBM Ports, URLs, etc. for Firewalls information below.
For English transcription, Audiate uses Rev.ai

Why does Audiate use Rev.ai?
Audiate uses Rev for speech-to-text transcription, to use with Audiate's text-based editing features.
For non-english transcription, Audiate uses IBM
