As an ex-Rev transcriber, I can think of the worst one I ever did.
It was a video for ESPN of an indoor motorcross race and the transcription was for the commentators. There were two fundamental problems:
1) The bike noise made the commentators almost inaudible
2) The commentators were using the [well-known to fans] nicknames of all the racers, and not their real names
I haven't used Rev for about three years, so I don't know how much better your auto-transcription system has gotten. I'd hope AI can solve #1, but #2 is a very hard problem to solve, simply because of the domain knowledge required. The nicknames were like Buttski McDumpleface etc and took a bunch of Googling to figure out.
I eventually got fired from Rev simply because the moderators haven't heard of the Oxford comma :p
