OtterAI Transcribe Voice Notes

The Otter application is designed to help users save time and stay organized by condensing a 1 hour meeting into a 30 second summary. It does this by transcribing all types of conversations, including meetings, interviews, lectures, and everyday voice conversations, in real time. This means that users can get automated notes for in-person meetings, as well as virtual meetings on platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

The application has several key features, including an AI chat that can provide answers and even help write emails. It also serves as a meeting note taker and offers real-time transcription, as well as an audio recorder. Users can transcribe notes live, and the application also serves as an automated meeting note taker, voice memo recorder, and summarizer. Additionally, the AI Channels feature allows for instant chat on various channels, making it easy to communicate and collaborate with others.

The Otter application has many uses, including saving time through automatic note taking, keeping teams in sync by sharing notes and action items, and recording and transcribing various types of conversations, such as interviews, lectures, podcasts, videos, webinars, and keynotes. It can also provide live captioning for those with accessibility needs.

Users can record and transcribe live with just one tap, and the application offers high accuracy transcription when online. It also allows for the highlighting of key points for later review, as well as the insertion of photos and the ability to scroll back to grab a quote or revisit a point. Audio can be inputted through the built-in mic or a Bluetooth device.

The Otter application also offers AI features to enrich notes, such as automatically punctuating, capitalizing, and breaking paragraphs. It can also identify speakers after some training, and even capture slides during virtual team meetings. After all team meetings, an automated summarizer is available.

Users can easily share and collaborate within the application, starting a meeting recording inside a group to share the transcript live. Workplace team members can be invited to view, edit, and highlight collaboratively, and all highlights are captured in the Takeaways panel. Comments and action items can also be added within this panel, and notes can be shared externally via links.

The application also offers search and playback features, allowing users to search the text instead of scrubbing through the entire audio. Playback can be adjusted to different speeds, and the highlighted word follows along as the audio plays. Users can also tap on any word to jump to that spot in the audio.

Editing and highlighting features are also available, allowing users to correct any errors in the text, tag speakers to label paragraphs and train the application to identify meeting speakers, and highlight sentences with just one tap.

The Otter application also offers organization and export options, allowing users to organize conversations and notes into personal folders, copy to clipboard, or share directly into other apps. Text can be exported as PDF, TXT, or SRT, and audio can be exported as MP3.

Users can also import and sync audio and video files, as well as sync with their calendars to get reminders to record team meetings and auto-title notes. Contacts can also be imported for easier sharing, and data is automatically backed up to Otter's cloud for secure access from any device.

Some additional features are available with Otter Pro, such as bulk export, more playback speeds, and the ability to skip silence. The application requires Android 6.0 or higher, an internet connection for transcribing, and account creation. The company takes security and privacy seriously, and users have full control to delete their data permanently.
