Otter: AI meeting transcription and notes

Research profile · Checked 10 October 2026

Otter provides meeting transcription and AI-assisted notes. Its official site describes searchable transcripts, summaries, action items and ways to capture meetings through meeting agents, desktop, browser and mobile tools.

Research, not hands-on testing. This profile uses the provider’s public documentation. We have not independently tested its performance.

What could you use it for?

For a small team, the practical use is creating a record of a client call or internal discussion that can be checked afterwards. It can help someone prepare a follow-up without relying entirely on memory.

What does it offer?

The product supports live transcription and meeting workflows, plus importing audio or video on eligible plans. Integrations and capture methods vary, so check support for the meeting service and devices your team actually uses.

Plans and limitations

Otter lists a Free Basic plan with 300 monthly transcription minutes and a 30-minute limit per conversation. Paid tiers raise limits and add features. Import allowances and meeting-recording allowances are not identical, so read both before choosing a subscription.

What to check before adopting it

Tell participants when a meeting will be recorded or transcribed, and follow your organisation’s consent rules. A transcript can mishear names, figures and commitments. Check action owners and deadlines against the recording before sharing them.

A practical first test

Use a non-sensitive internal meeting to test speaker identification, specialised vocabulary and the quality of the summary. Judge the corrected output rather than the first automatic draft.
