Otter records meetings in Zoom, Meet and Teams, produces a live transcript, a summary and a task list, and its chat answers questions about past meetings. It is the most accurate notetaker for English, which makes it a fit for negotiations with international partners and English-language meetings. Support for other transcription languages is limited, so for meetings in other languages consider Fireflies or Google Meet notes.
