Otter ai

Otter ai is an AI-powered tool that records and transcribes meetings and conversations in real time, turning audio into text so you can review, search, and share what was discussed.

What it does

Otter ai is a cloud service for converting audio and video into text transcripts. It recognizes speech automatically, generates documents, and makes transcripts searchable.

Key capabilities include:

• Real-time transcription during meetings
• Speaker identification to separate participants
• Video conferencing integrations with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet
