What is Otter.ai?
Otter turns spoken meetings into transcripts and searchable meeting context. Supported meeting integrations, live capture and file imports have different conditions, so choose the route that matches how your meetings are recorded.
If your team needs to revisit meeting transcripts across calls, compare the capture and storage conditions in Fireflies.ai.
Official website: otter.aiCan Otter Basic cover your meetings this month?
Count live meetings and existing recordings separately. Otter Basic lists 300 monthly transcription minutes, 30 minutes per conversation, and three lifetime audio or video imports. A single long meeting can hit the conversation cap even when your monthly minutes are mostly unused.
- Check the duration of your longest typical call before inviting Otter to a recurring meeting.
- If you are catching up on recorded files, compare import quotas and export options on the plans page.
