Step-by-Step Guide
Otter is a powerful video-to-text converter. Upload a video file directly to Otter for the best transcription accuracy and speed. Otter supports standard video formats like MP4, MOV, and M4A, making it easy to upload and transcribe from nearly any source. You can also play your video aloud while Otter listens and transcribes using your device's microphone.
Otter’s video transcript generator uses advanced AI to transcribe your video from speech to text without delays. Transcribing begins as soon as you upload a file or start a recording. Then, it automatically adds speaker labels, inserts timestamps, and delivers a readable transcript as the video plays.
Quickly review and refine your transcript. Fix words, highlight important moments, and tag speakers if needed. Otter also creates a summary of your video with clickable timestamps for easy navigation.
Download your video transcription in a format that fits your workflow, such as DOCX, TXT, or PDF. You can also share the transcript via link, email, or Slack to keep your team in sync.
