Otter
Real-time meeting transcription with live captions, automated summaries, and an AI chat over your past meetings.
About Otter
Otter.ai provides live, real-time transcription and captions during meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams, alongside automated summaries generated after the call. Its "Otter AI Chat" lets you ask questions across your meeting history — for example, pulling up what was decided about a topic across several past calls. The free tier includes a set number of transcription minutes per month, which is enough for light use but is the main constraint for regular meeting-heavy schedules; paid plans starting around $8.33/mo (billed annually) raise monthly minute allowances and add team features like shared channels. Transcription quality is solid for English audio in quiet conditions, but support for other languages and noisy environments is more limited than some competitors.
