Otter.ai

Otter.ai is an AI meeting and transcription service that turns meetings and recordings into live transcripts, summaries, action items, and searchable conversation records. It can join Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls or record directly from the desktop app, so it fits users who need ready-made meeting transcription and team knowledge capture more than developer integration.

Its strength is finished-product experience and market validation. The free plan includes 300 monthly transcription minutes with a 30-minute conversation limit, Pro raises that to 1,200 minutes, and Business includes unlimited meeting and in-app recording transcription. Otter's pricing page lists transcription in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese. Its official blog has reported surpassing 1 billion transcribed meetings, 50 million meeting summaries, and the $100 million ARR barrier.

The tradeoff is language coverage and customization. Korean is not listed among the main official transcription languages, so Korean meeting quality needs separate validation. API and webhook access sit in Enterprise, which means AssemblyAI or Deepgram can be a better fit when transcription must be embedded directly into a product. The meeting-agent workflow also requires clear notice on external or sensitive calls.

Otter.ai is a strong fit for individuals and teams that want to adopt meeting notes quickly. If you use several meeting platforms and need summaries, action items, and search, starting free and comparing Pro or Business is a natural path. If Korean transcription, API integration, or realtime voice-product development is the core requirement, compare dedicated STT platforms too.
