Otter.ai

Otter.ai is an AI-powered meeting transcription and note-taking tool that records, transcribes, and summarises spoken conversations in real time. It is designed for professionals who participate in frequent meetings, interviews, or lectures and need an accurate record of what was said without manual note-taking. Otter integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and can automatically join scheduled calls to capture transcripts. It also provides an AI meeting assistant that answers questions about past meetings and generates summaries. Otter is widely used in enterprise and education contexts, where meeting documentation and searchable archives of spoken content provide significant value.

How it works

Users connect Otter to their calendar and meeting platforms. When a meeting starts, the Otter assistant automatically joins and begins transcribing in real time, attributing speech to identified speakers. After the meeting, Otter generates a summary, action items, and a searchable transcript. Users can highlight sections, add comments, and share the transcript with collaborators. The Otter AI chat allows users to ask questions about the meeting content.
