About Otter.ai
Otter is a meeting transcription and AI-summary tool — it joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams to capture and summarize your calls.
Its core loop is capture-then-summarize: it auto-joins your calls, transcribes in real time with automatic speaker identification, and generates summaries, notes, and action items afterward, synced across web, iOS, and Android.
It fits people who want automatic notes from their meetings without taking them by hand. Two caveats: the free tier limits monthly transcription minutes, and accuracy can drop with heavy accents, crosstalk, or poor audio.
It's a meeting-notes assistant next to Fireflies, which leans more on CRM and tool integrations.
