User Testimonials
A shout-out for @otter_ai, one of my new favourite things in the world. Switch the phone on, interview someone, and you get an audio file and transcript that's 95% accurate. Oh to have had this service twenty years ago.

@otter_ai is one of the best transcription experiences I've had in a while and a must when going remote.
— Ev (@ev_525) April 30, 2020
Easy, surprisingly accurate and a must if you need to take notes in Zoom meetings.
I’ve just experienced the most amazing thing. A 45 minute video of me chatting in an interview, into @otter_ai. 6 minutes later, fully transcribed with keywords. Simply wow!
— Neil Bage (@neilbage) April 21, 2020
Worth checking out @otter_ai

It’s incredibly accurate.
It's life-changing. You get voice recording too so you can always check back if needs be. But I've found it fairly accurate so far.

I know i'm very late to this but kudos to the team at @otter_ai for creating easily the most accurate and impressive voice transcription app I've used - no service is ever perfect but this isn't far off. Highly recommended!

What #PRODUCTIVITY tools do you find valuable? For ex. I just learned about @Otter_Ai. Transcribes what you say with accuracy. Sounds like a helpful time-saver for #bloggers like me. Share your fav #apps & WHY you like. I'll compile for my next #Forbes article to benefit others. pic.twitter.com/Bxo1jBhGfS

It's crazy accurate and you get 600 minutes of voice recording per month for FREE. https://t.co/Hn2twRPP20
It's an absolute joy to read through an interview that's been conducted over @zoom_us and transcribed by @otter_ai with pretty much flawless accuracy. Means I can conduct interviews with just my AirPods in & note down topics to search for in the transcript once it's processed. 🙌 pic.twitter.com/2QOQ7cYyLj

Using @otter_ai to transcribe. Accurate audio to text translation, with option to edit text and listen to audio on the same screen. I couldn't have dreamed up a better service. Easy to use and an incredible time saver 👏🏾 https://t.co/98iNdnXvt5

https://t.co/VzXqmw109T!!! LOVE IT, v affordable, surprisingly accurate if you’ve got a clear recording. I’d say about 85-90%

I often use subtitles, but on live programming even I can see they are very often pretty useless - what system do they use? At the moment for webinars I am using https://t.co/zl2ERNgcbU, which is instant and really accurate - why are TV subtitles so slow and inaccurate?

Might be the best app ever...
It's a voice notes app that records your conversations and turns them into a text document!
Give it a go and let us know what you think 😎 pic.twitter.com/s02sLh6DSk
A voice transcribing app @otter_ai is simply amazing. The accuracy of its transcribing astonishes me and as a grad student who uses interviewing research, it’s very helpful. I wonder if I can upload voice recorded data (MP4, MP3, or WAV) on this app and make it transcribe them🤔
— 真緒りん(Maorin) (@maorinlemon789) July 30, 2019
The Otter transcription ap is a total game changer! Transcribes at around 90% accuracy, differentiates between voices, time tags and identifies keywords m. Thank you @otter_ai I'm finally out of transcription hell 🤩 #phdlife #phdchat #phdadvice
