We are talking total automation! Link to your calendar, have your meeting, notes are organized and ready to recap in an email followup, done. This could be used as a training opportunity as well; comparing otter's notes to staff notes. Clarifies hearing vs listening.

Otter pilot summarizes key objective discussed to enable the effective development of minutes for retention. Additionally, the Audio recording is clear and enables one to review a meeting and identify key action areas allocated to them and enable effective ownership.

Awesome tool that every professional needs. Whenever I miss my calls this helps me take points and share the info so that I am able to share with the team.

As said on the title, it does a good job at transcripting and summarizing meetings, but a word of caution before using this service. The transcript may also include quips from another person attributed to another person because the quip was made while a person was still speaking, and the AI combines the two as if the same person said it. So you might need to either manually remove the quip from the transcription or leave it be, since there's no way to split it. Also, meeting notes have a small tendency to be wildly inaccurate due to it not understanding the context that only the members of the meeting know about. All in all, Otter.ai is a great tool, but not a real replacement of someone taking notes during a meeting. Treat it as a corroborating witness to what was discussed in a meeting when writing down somewhere your meeting summaries. Disclosure: This review is my honest observations and experiences with the service. As well as, this review was provided as part of a promotion from Otter.ai.

I am happy this company is well and good. this rule regulations.

I love the Otter A.I. tool! This has helped me phenomenally with classes and course work. As being someone with a unilateral hearing loss as well as ADHD I am able to take and highlight important notes in class. I used it to complete an interview assignment I had. I also use it when gaining feedback from tutors. The transcript part works pretty well although it does not always transcribe the correct word, some of that is understandable since abbreviations and specific slang is used. Thankfully you receive high quality audio with the transcript so you can decipher the words it was not able to catch. The app is simple to understand and extremely helpful in all aspects of my life. The only downside is that sitting at the front of the class is a must and you will not always get classmate responses depending on the size of the class. (I have not tried the app from the middle of the class since as I said before I have a hearing disability, but that may be a solution to receiving everyone's responses). You will need to make sure you have a good wifi or service connection so it can continue to record. I have had that issue in the past where the connection was finicky so I missed out on 30-40 min of the lecture, but most of the time it is still able to record/transcribe during a lack of connection. All in all I love the app and I wish it was around when I was in high school. I highly recommend this for anyone with hearing disability or just in general. This tool has become a necessity for my education and learning.

Unparalleled accuracy, tried the competition, they don't pick up on words with the same accuracy. Use it mainly for iPhone recordings, it's the most reliable tool out there. Recording meetings, interviews, or brainstorming sessions, etc. even with background noise or multiple speakers, somehow manages to capture every word (albeit some minor exceptions, it's not perfect, but close enough). Some other useful features include keyword search and summarization (I don't necessarily use it). Best overall service when it comes to accuracy. Price is fair.

I’m using the Otter app to tape stories told by a 102 year-year-old woman. Not only are her words and voice captured orally, the app transcribes those words as well. After uploading them to a word document I am in the process of creating a collection of this amazing woman’s life history. Priceless! Although I’ve had to do some editing, the transcribed words have made the process so much easier and efficient. Every once in awhile I did run across a transcribed error. For example, I saw the word insulin and had to stop to think. Oh. Yes. During our interview the woman said “in Salina.” A minor and understandable error. Overall I spent a fraction of the time I would have if I’d had to listen to the tape and then write down what I’d heard. Although I am writing this review as a part of a promotion, the Otter app that has made by life easier and for that reason, I give it a 5 star rating. I will continue to use it for other writing projects.
