Otter.ai
Meeting transcription with speaker labels and automatic summaries.
Otter joins calls on Zoom, Meet and Teams, transcribes with speaker attribution, and produces summaries and action items afterwards. The value is in not having to take notes while also participating in the conversation.
Our take
Reliable for clear English audio. Accuracy drops noticeably with heavy accents, crosstalk or technical jargon — check before relying on it for records.
