“With Custom Vocabulary, you will see a big leap in Otter’s accuracy in recognizing your unique terminologies and name spellings, such as Jon vs. John, SDGs (sustainable development goals) vs. STDs, the guardian ad litem (legal term) vs. The Guardian (UK newspaper)," said Simon Lau, VP of Product at Otter.ai.

“Otter.ai’s Custom Vocabulary raises the accuracy bar even higher enabling companies to customize Otter for Teams transcriptions with employee, client and product names as well as unique industry specific terms,” said Zeus Kerravala, chief analyst at ZK Research. “Otter already had the most accurate live transcriptions but Customer Vocabulary makes this AI collaboration app even more valuable as a productivity offering and eliminates the annoying ongoing errors with hard to pronounce names and industry specific jargon and acronyms in meeting notes, broadcasts or conferences”
