Otter is the most versatile AI – powered transcription on the market today. It transcribes all your meetings, interviews, lectures, and everyday voice conversations in real time, so you can focus on the discussion. Instantly receive automated notes, summaries, outlines, and action items for every meeting. All notes are searchable, and shareable.
Integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, Slack and Microsoft Teams meetings.
OTTER HIGHLIGHTS:
- AI tool for recording audio, transcribing, writing notes, capturing slides, and generating summaries for virtual or in-person meetings.
- AI-powered chatbot that helps you find the most important information shared during a meeting.
- Otter also automatically generates a summary, outline and action items for every meeting. These summaries make it easy to catch up on the assignments and main takeaways without reading or listening to the full transcript — a great time saver.
- Audio of the meeting is combined with the transcribed text. So when you go through the transcript and click on one section of the text, the audio from that point will play. You can follow along with the text as the audio plays. This makes it easy to edit your transcript since you can hear the exact audio you need while editing the transcript text. Other services like Zoom and Microsoft Teams don’t combine the meeting audio with the transcript, so this is a major perk to using Otter.
- You’ll get the most value out of the service if your calendar is more meeting-heavy, as Otter helps you note important action items and decisions made in each meeting.
- You can use Otter as a standalone service or integrate it with your accounts on Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Microsoft Teams and more. If you do integrate it with your calendars, you can easily see all your meetings for the day in the left side menu and decide which you want to use Otter to record by easily toggling on and off the microphone widget. Otter will finalize your transcript quickly.
- You can tag each speaker with their name, and Otter will automatically update the transcript to reflect each voice with their assigned name. You don’t have to worry about tagging the speaker in every section — occasionally Otter will struggle to confirm the voice, but it’s usually quick and easy.
- Available as an App for Apple and Google and as a Chrome Extension
