"User-Friendly​ Intuitive Interface and Excellent Transcription Features, and Intuitive"
5/5
What do you like best about Otter.ai?

I highly recommend Otter AI. From the very beginning, I found the platform incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. The outputs are fantastic—it automatically generates clear summaries, pros and cons lists, and actionable items. Additionally, it provides the full audio recording complete with minute-by-minute timestamps. It is truly an exceptional program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

However, there are a few drawbacks. First, its use may be restricted or prohibited in certain environments. Second, the generated summaries occasionally omit crucial details that need to be captured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Must-Have for Note-Taking Efficiency"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Otter.ai?

I use Otter.ai for note-taking and appreciate its ability to capture important details like time and date. I also like that I can ask Otter questions about something, and it can answer the questions, which aids in my note-taking process. The initial setup was easy enough due to having assistance with the installation. I rate Otter.ai 9 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

What could be improved in Otter.ai is that sometimes Otter.ai will misspell words, which can be a problem because it can cause the a.i to get a question wrong? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Otter.ai’s Real-Time Transcription Accuracy Is a Productivity Game-Changer"
5/5
What do you like best about Otter.ai?

"What I like best about Otter.ai is its exceptional accuracy in real-time transcription, which has been a complete game-changer for my productivity. The ability to automatically generate accurate meeting notes allows me to stay fully engaged during conversations instead of worrying about manual note-taking. It easily handles different accents and speakers, and the search functionality makes finding specific keywords or action items within long transcripts incredibly fast and efficient. This tool has significantly improved the way we document and follow up on project discussions, ensuring that no critical information is ever missed." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

"While the transcription accuracy is generally high, I do occasionally find that Otter.ai struggles with complex technical terminology or when multiple people are speaking over each other simultaneously in a meeting. In those specific scenarios, the transcription can become slightly muddled, requiring me to go back and manually edit the text for complete clarity. Additionally, it would be a significant improvement if the tool could more consistently distinguish between speakers when the audio quality is not optimal. These small hurdles in the transcription process mean that I still need to perform a quick review of the generated notes to ensure total accuracy." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortlessly Captures and Summarizes Meeting Discussions"
5/5
What do you like best about Otter.ai?

I use Otter.ai as my AI assistant for attending meetings. I love that it stays in the meeting as a participant, listens to all the conversations, and afterwards gives me a summary outline, which includes what to do and what not to do, along with the action items of the meeting. It's really helpful that I can ask it questions related to my job or what was discussed in the meeting. Having this assistant helps me because the human mind can lose track of a few things here and there, but Otter.ai helps keep everything organized. It's especially great that it can automatically drop emails based on what was discussed in the meeting, and I can also go back to check what was discussed last month. One of the best things about Otter.ai is that it summarizes the meeting and provides action items to work on, allowing me to focus more on my performance and involvement during the meeting since I don't have to worry about taking notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

I don't like how Otterbot tries to attend meetings because it should be seamless and join with me silently without notifying others. In my team, we've been criticized for auto joining, and it's looked down upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Meeting Notes and Follow-Ups"
4/5
What do you like best about Otter.ai?

I really like Otter.ai's interface and the simplicity of its use. It's very easy to use, and I don't have to do much to utilize the technology. Its integrations with my GoToMeeting and teams is great. I have daily meetings with my team and use otterai to enhance our monthly performance as a team. Not only is it a great tool, but the pricing is great and makes it a no-brainer to use. Also, their support team has been great helping with onbroading and anything I need. I think their AI technology is one of the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

At this time OtterAI has been an amazing tool, that has helped my teams monthly performance and made all my meetings more meaningful because of the notes I get once they are done. So, I really don't have any dislikes at this time. Maybe, the fact that original when our meetings were done it sent out a blast email to my whole team without me knowing that was going to happen. So I shut that off Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Speaker Tagging for Hybrid Meetings—No AI Attendee Needed"
5/5
What do you like best about Otter.ai?

I like that I can record meetings where multiple participants are in a conference room and others are remote and it still tags each voice correctly. With other solutions, it's based on each video/audio feed. This means if there are 3 people in-person in a conference room, it counts this all as one person. With otter, I can just put my phone on the table with the app open and it labels everyone correctly in the transcript. I don't even have to have my computer with me or be logged into the meeting. Also there's not a AI attendee to the meeting, which feels intrusive sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

It's expensive compared other options, but I think it's 100% worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Otter.ai?

I use Otter.ai for recording and transcribing conversations, and it saves me time from manually transcribing interviews. I like that it makes it easy to record and transcribe conversations, and it also provides a nice summary of what was discussed. I like the ability to easily pull quotes from the conversations. These features make it easy to take notes and capture key takeaways, and it is a huge time-saver. The initial setup was very easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Otter.ai?

The only thing I dislike is that with the free version, conversations are limited to 30 minutes. There is also a limited storage capacity in the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
