Joins your online meetings and writes down everything said, then gives you a summary.

Otter records and transcribes everything, and you can search old meetings later. The usual complaints: it mixes up who said what on big calls, and summaries can feel generic.
The quick breakdown
- Good for
- Live transcripts and a searchable archive of your meetings.
- Not great for
