AI meeting transcription and note-taking that joins your calls, records, and highlights action items.
Otter.ai is the meeting assistant that actually works. It joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls, transcribes everything in real-time with speaker identification, and generates a summary with action items when the call ends. The dream of never taking meeting notes is finally real.
The transcription quality is impressive for clear audio with distinct speakers. The AI summary captures key decisions, action items, and follow-ups accurately enough that you can skip meetings and read the transcript instead (we've all wanted to do that).
Accuracy drops noticeably with heavy accents, multiple people talking simultaneously, or poor audio quality. The free tier limits recordings to 30 minutes each and 300 minutes total per month. And some meeting participants find the "Otter.ai has joined" notification slightly off-putting.
Anyone in 3+ meetings per day. Product managers, sales reps, consultants, and remote teams get the most value. The free tier is generous enough for light users. If meetings consume your week and you struggle to capture action items, Otter is worth every penny of the Pro plan.
