What do you like best about Otter.ai?

1. Easy to create accurate transcripts for Videos

2. The AI Notetaker can join zoom calls to take notes and keep track of minutes of meetings. it is also very easy to integrate with Zoom.

3. With Otter, you can export the transcripts in multiple formats as per your requirements.

4. The UI is very simple and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

1. The accuracy of the transcripts might vary depending on the accent of the speaker.

2. Without the paid version, you are restricted in terms of how many hours of recording you can transcribe.

3. While exporting the transcript in .srt format, the line spacing gets messed up in certain occasions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Otter.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. It helps us to transcribe all our video content without going through the tedious task of manually writing the transcripts.

2. Since we are a completely remote organization, we have a lot of zoom calls everyday. The AI notetaker is a boon in such a scenario as it keeps track of all the discussions and also segments the items as discussion topics and action items.

3. Since Otter automatically creates channels for every specific meeting, it is very easy to keep track of the relevant data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

It was very easy to sign up and they made it very easy to take my payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

There is nothing redeeming at all about this product when compared to the others out there. The transcription was poor. I had no confidence in the summaries. It did a poor job of capturing anything beyond the most simple words. The user experience for my calendar was poor. It would add Otter to everything, even stuff I didn't want to record, and then spam me with emails about recording the meetings I didn't want to record.

And then when I asked for a refund, they wouldn't give me even a partial refund. My fault for paying for a year in advance based on the reviews I saw - further proof that positive reviews are not to be given much weight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

Otter.ai is a great AI tool to transcribe audios and videos. Premium version is great, as it allows you to upload more audio minutes. Best part is the time stamping and accuacy of it. I have been using the premium version for a long time now and recent upgrade in which AI helps you to extract required information from the conversation is extremely helpful. Exporting in different formats makes it quite easy to acquire the desired output. Dashboard is easy to use and it seems very welcoming to new users as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

I am overall satified but I would say that it can improve in terms of speaker identification and it ocassionaly gets clunky while editing. I understand that it is working in real-time and saving the information but you can't make mistakes as it has built in auto save option and you can't undo if you save and close the file, which is quite disturbing. Customer support might feel bit slow sometimes, even for the premium members, however Otter.ai is generally so realiable that you likely won't need assistance often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Otter.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

Otter.ai helps me in transcribing audios and videos as I am a full-time transcriber. It helps me transccribe legal audios, podcasts, videos, lectures, interviews, business meetings etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

First I used to take hand written notes or use to listen the recordings of the meetings for creating MOM, but not anymore. Recently I came across Otter.ai through one of my colleague and since then my workload reagrding MOM and all has become very easy.It takes the whole points and at the end gives you a short summary regarding the whole meeting. ANd it was very easy to integrate and implemnet in my team. We use it in all the meetings for the notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

If anyonre is not a premium member then they will only have limited monthly minitues of the Otter.ai Notetaker which is a backdraw of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Otter.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Otter.ai helped me in taking notes and drafting MOM of the meetings simultaneously. It is helping me in saving a lot of time that I spend on note taking and then drafting MOMs. It is making the hardwork part, a smartwork . If I even miss out a point I don't have to worry till will consist of it all. If I was unable to join the meeting, I'll have the summary of the meeting in a click.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

My favorite thing about Otter is that I can pay full attention to those I'm connecting with on a call, without having to continuously take notes. Conversations can become more free-flowing, I can ask more questions and find out a lot more information, because I know that Otter will take notes and record an audio transcript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

There really aren't too many downsides with Otter, and I can see it's only going to get better as the tech evolves.

Currently, I guess the thing that could be improved is the section within the notes about rhw action points. Sometimes it misses them, so I need to review the part of the conversation to get the full action point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Otter.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's allowing me to maintain full focus on my video calls, and improves my discovery process as I'm not constantly taking notes. It also captures all required information, so my follow ups can be detailed and accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

- Summarize calls with key insights, action items & responsibilities

- Record meetings so you can easily share post-call notes, distribute them with other team members & ensure alignment

- If you can't attend a call, you can send your Otter who will provide you with the key takeaways and next steps

- In your settings, you can let Otter know how you want your call notes to be organized and the key insights you want notes around.

- If you forget what was discussed on a call, you always have your Otter recording to go back to. You can listen to it at 1.5x or 2x speed to save time or just read the notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

The only critique, which is minor and I had to dig deeply to get to it, is that on a rare occasion, Otter will mishear a name or word. However, you can then edit the transcript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Otter.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helped us level up our sales process with notes, follow-ups, and clear next steps. We did not expect this but it's also helped us significantly improve our client onboarding process and better transition from our sales team to the project team that will actually be running the day-to-day strategy. Anything that was discussed in the sales process can now easily be shared with our internal team to prevent misalignment, while also improving the customer experience.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

Being able to multitask during a meeting that I am not necessarily needed on is ABSOLUTELY invaluable to my productivity.

If I missed something in a live meeting I can always have the live transcription up on another screen and I don't have to ask someone to repeat themselves due to the amazing accuracy of the live transcriptionl

Also, being able to go back and search a keyword for a meeting from 3 weeks ago and then replay the conversation surrounding it brings me immediately back up to speed.

I'm not sure how I ever conducted business efficiently without Otter AI.

What problems is Otter.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

Otter.ai has been a game-changer in streamlining my workflow, especially with its OtterPilot feature for notetaking. It solves the challenge of capturing every detail during meetings and conversations—something that used to require significant effort and still left room for error. With OtterPilot, I can focus more on the conversation itself, knowing that every word, insight, and action item is being accurately transcribed in real-time. This increased attention to detail has made a huge difference, allowing me to catch nuances and follow up on specifics I might otherwise have missed. The added benefit of being able to search back through these notes also saves me time and enhances my productivity, making Otter.ai an invaluable tool for anyone aiming for thoroughness and efficiency in their communications.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

Otter is a tool that is so integral to our operations that we would not be able to live without it. The ability to automatically record all calls and utilize the AI to extrapolate summaries and remind oneself of what was discussed is paramount to our business.

This review was provided to Otter as part of a promotion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

The only thing I dislike is that settings can be a bit confusing, for example one issue we had is that we wanted all calls had by members in a team to automatically fall into a communal bucket so that our VA could access that information. There is no way to do that, you repeatedly have to ask for permissions on every call to share with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Otter.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's solving any discrepancy there may be in business conversations due to forgetfulness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
