Otter.ai is the most accessible meeting transcription tool available. It auto-joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams calls, producing real-time transcripts with speaker identification. The AI summaries and action item extraction are genuinely time-saving for anyone in back-to-back meetings. The free plan offers 300 minutes/month — enough for light use. Pro at $17/mo unlocks more minutes and advanced features. Accuracy is good for clear English but struggles with heavy accents or crosstalk.
Otter.ai automatically joins your meetings to record, transcribe, and summarize conversations. It generates action items, extracts key decisions, and syncs notes to your tools.
