“Otter is more than speech recognition. It is a new medium which captures what is said in a form that can be reviewed, freeing students to ask questions, develop ideas and participate in discussions,” said Sydney Kuntz, Otter user and journalism student at American University.

“Using Otter, I can record directly or upload audio/video files to transcribe. I can also add photos of whiteboards or slides from class presentations, during or after recording. And with features like keywords and highlighting, even hour-long lectures are very easy to navigate and search.”

Students can take advantage of the free introductory offer of Otter Voice Meeting Notes, which includes 600 free minutes per month and a one-month free trial of premium features like custom vocabulary and more.

If they use their university email address to sign up, they can also upgrade to Otter Premium plan for a discounted price of USD49.99 annually.
