AI-powered meeting transcription and note-taking assistant. Joins virtual meetings automatically, transcribes in real time, and generates summaries and action items.
Our take
Otter.ai is the best tool for meeting transcription and note-taking. Real-time transcription during Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams calls is accurate and the automatic summary with action items is genuinely useful. The free tier (300 minutes/month) is generous enough for light use. Where Otter falls short is in anything beyond meetings — it's not a general-purpose AI tool. The transcription is good but not perfect, especially with accents or technical jargon. For anyone who spends significant time in meetings and wants searchable, shareable notes, Otter is a clear productivity win.
