Otter

Otter is an AI-powered note-taking app that captures spoken conversations and converts them into searchable, shareable notes. It is used in meetings, interviews and lectures.

What Otter offers

• Live transcription — audio turned into text as people talk.
• Smart notes — audio, transcript, speaker identification, inline photos and key phrases together.
• Search — jump from a keyword in the summary to every mention across notes.
• Playback tools — faster playback and silence skipping for long recordings.
• Sharing — notes can be organised and passed to colleagues from any device.
