Otter

Otter is a real-time AI-powered meeting assistant that automatically transcribes spoken conversations into searchable text, creating a searchable knowledge base for individuals and teams. When you join or host a meeting—whether on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or in person via mobile device—Otter listens and generates a live transcript with speaker identification, timestamps, and synchronized audio. During the meeting, participants can highlight key points, add comments, and insert images or text notes directly into the transcript. After the meeting, Otter automatically produces a summary that includes action items, key decisions, and follow-up tasks, which can be shared with attendees or saved to a centralized workspace. The platform organizes all transcripts in a searchable library; you can search across past meetings by keyword, speaker, date, or topic, and quickly jump to the exact moment when something was said. Otter also integrates with calendar applications (Google Calendar, Outlook) to automatically join scheduled meetings and generate a transcript without manual effort. For teams, Otter provides shared folders and team workspaces where members can collaborate on notes, assign action items, and track meeting outcomes over time. The tool supports exporting transcripts in plain text, PDF, or SRT (subtitle) format, and offers a browser extension for capturing online meetings. Otter’s mobile app allows recording in-person conversations, such as client meetings, lectures, or interviews, and syncs them to the cloud instantly. A key feature is the “Conversational Knowledge Engine,” which treats every meeting as a piece of searchable knowledge, helping users recall information from past discussions without rewatching or rereading.
