Otter.ai
Transcribe, summarise and extract action items from every meeting automatically.
Otter.ai joins your Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls and produces a real-time transcript, a summary and a list of action items. You can ask Otter questions about the meeting after it ends — 'What did we decide about the Q3 budget?' — and it answers from the transcript. For distributed teams, Otter eliminates the note-taking burden and makes every meeting searchable. The free plan covers 3 meetings per month up to 300 minutes.
