Transcribe, summarize, and search meetings automatically with Otter.ai — works live or from recorded audio.
Go to Settings → Calendar and connect Google or Outlook. Otter.ai automatically joins scheduled video meetings as a bot participant.
For in-person conversations, open the Otter.ai app and tap 'Record'. For video calls, Otter joins automatically if calendar-connected, or paste the meeting link manually.
The Live Summary panel (right sidebar) updates in real-time with the most important points discussed so far. Useful for late joiners or for staying on track.
After the meeting, click 'Edit Transcript'. Otter highlights low-confidence words. Click to hear the audio at that point and correct as needed.
Click 'AI Summary' to get: a written summary, outline, action items, and key takeaways — automatically extracted from the transcript.
Use the search bar to find any phrase across all your transcripts — great for recalling what was decided in a meeting 3 months ago.
Share the transcript link with participants, or export as PDF, DOCX, or SRT subtitles. Integrate with Notion, Slack, or email via Zapier.
