Otter.ai vs. Sembly.AI

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).

Powow is well suited for meetings, multi-meetings, and having everyone in the team involved. It simplifies the process of decision-making and any process within our business that needs multiple people working at the same time. It allows people to focus on the meeting instead of taking notes as Powow uses audio transcription to create summaries about everything said. It also allows getting relevant insights and analytics that are really helpful for the business. In my own case, being a fashion and design store requires hand on meetings and work that can't be done thru the internet. Also, for very important meetings or information, you can't really rely on the transcripts as they are not perfect. Even though Powow is relatively new, it has mainly positive aspects.

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.

Even though all of the mentioned platforms are helpful for meetings and teamwork, Powow is so much better. First, it allows multi-meetings, facilitating the job of the managers and heads of every team to be involved in all the work done. Also, it has audio transcripts that avoid the need for note-taking, making people pay full attention to the meeting. Provides as well insights and analysis related to the business and meeting content that are really helpful for the business. The AI component to extract patterns and sentiments across multiple meetings is a huge tool for managers and heads of teams to identify key issues and mitigate risks.
