About Otter.ai

Otter.ai sits in your Zoom, Meet and Teams calls and turns conversation into searchable text: live transcription with speaker labels, an automatic summary with action items, and a chat that answers questions across all your past meetings. For solo operators and small teams it quietly replaces manual note-taking in sales calls, interviews and standups. The free Basic plan includes a monthly allowance of transcription minutes with per-meeting caps; Pro and Business plans raise the limits and add team workspaces and CRM integrations.
