What it does
Otter.ai automatically transcribes meetings in real time (via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or direct recording), identifies speakers, and can answer questions about a meeting's content through built-in AI chat — useful for turning a conversation into searchable, shareable notes. An API exists but is gated to Enterprise plans, not available on Free or Pro.
Best for
- Automatically transcribing and summarizing meetings
- Turning a recorded conversation into searchable notes with speaker labels
