Otter.ai headquartered in Los Altos states users can generate rich notes for meetings, interviews, lectures, and other important voice conversations with Otter, their AI-powered assistant for note taking, meeting highlights, and transcription.
It does the job really well. They were one of the first on the scene and have continually improved overtime. It's crazy affordable, I'm always surprised when I see the $5 monthly charge compared to other apps I pay more for and use a lot less.
Otter.ai is an excellent tool for any public speaker who would like to obtain a written transcript of a message they have given. It is helpful as well for providing a written transcript of a recorded conversation, especially if you need to provide a record of what was said to you in a sensitive discussion that you happened to legally record on your phone. The one scenario I would not recommend using Otter.ai for would be if one needed this audio recording quickly, as it does take some time to upload the recording (and then possibly format it).
I started using Fireflies.ai about 1.5 yrs ago. It was - and continues to be - extremely user friendly, very easy to adopt, very easy to navigate and learn.
When we used Chorus.ai in our organization, I thought the Analytics were worthless. Beyond the point I made earlier about using the iOS app doesn't count towards your Engagement score, the only way calls are correctly counted is to the Rep who set up the call. I manage a team of Sales Engineers who support Sales Reps, who typically set up the Zoom session. Chorus.ai doesn't show any stats on my team. However, Fireflies.ai is a virtual assistant that helps you manage your business. It recognizes voice commands from the user and turns them into tasks.
Otter.ai is in a recording category of its own. There are a few other apps on the app store that allow for recording transcription. But not to the level or other added features Otter.ai adds. I think the software is really good for business processes and procedures and can help a lot of people out.
