★★★★ 4.2/5Productivity

Who it's for

Anyone who spends time in meetings, client calls, or consultations. Especially valuable for consultants, coaches, and service businesses.

What we like

  • Accurate transcription with speaker identification
  • Joins Zoom/Teams/Meet calls automatically
  • AI generates summaries and action items from meetings
  • Searchable archive of all your conversations

What to know

  • Free tier limit (300 min/month) can run out fast
  • Accuracy drops with heavy accents or background noise
  • Most useful features require the Pro plan

How to get started

  1. Sign up at otter.ai and download the mobile app
  2. Record your next client call or meeting
  3. Review the transcript and AI summary afterward
  4. Use the action items feature to track follow-ups

Our take

If you have regular meetings or client calls, Otter pays for itself in the first week. The free plan is enough to test whether transcription fits your workflow. The Pro plan is worth it for businesses doing 5+ calls per week.
