Step-by-Step Guide
Start by connecting Otter to your calendar so Otter can auto-join and transcribe your Zoom call, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams meeting. Or, upload an existing audio or video file from your device. Otter supports multiple file types and automatically converts your video into text.
Once your file is uploaded, Otter’s AI instantly starts transcribing. It detects and labels different speakers and inserts timestamps to make the transcript easy to follow. The transcript appears on your screen in real time as the conversation unfolds.
Refine your transcript with just a few clicks. Otter lets you edit words, highlight key sections, and add comments or notes. It also generates a summary with links to transcript timestamps so you can easily navigate to specific parts of the discussion.
When your transcript is ready, export it in the format you need and share it with your team. Or, let Otter export it for you — Otter can automatically send meeting notes and summaries to your team via email or Slack. You can also collaborate directly in Otter AI Chat Channels.
