What Is Otter.ai
Otter.ai is a smart meeting assistant designed for teams and individuals who want to capture, understand and act on spoken conversations. It records audio, transcribes in real-time, and generates searchable, editable notes from meetings, interviews or lectures. By automating note-taking and summarising key points, Otter.ai helps users stay focused during discussions and revisit important insights later. The platform integrates with virtual meeting tools and supports multi-speaker environments, making it suitable both for in-session and post-session workflows. It’s used by professionals, educators and remote/hybrid teams to turn spoken word into structured, usable content.
