Otter.ai
Real-time meeting transcription, summaries, and action items — the standard for US teams.
About Otter.ai
Otter.ai is the standard for real-time meeting transcription. Join any call — Zoom, Meet, Teams — and it transcribes, summarizes, and extracts action items automatically, then makes the notes searchable afterward.
It is especially valuable for remote teams: nobody has to take notes, decisions are captured verbatim, and anyone who missed the call can catch up in minutes by reading the summary.
If your week is full of meetings, Otter turns every call into a searchable, shareable document you will actually use.
