Otter.ai
Otter.ai records and transcribes meetings in real time, then produces summaries, action items and a searchable archive of past conversations. Sales, recruiting and operations staff lean on it to replace manual note-taking, and can chat with the live transcript during a call or replay it later with speaker labels on mobile or desktop. Integrations target common video-meeting tools, and paid tiers expand recording minutes, collaboration and CRM-oriented follow-up features. The free plan includes a monthly allotment of transcription minutes; Pro and Business raise or remove those caps per user, with Enterprise for larger rollouts. Limitation: free accounts stop once the monthly minute budget is gone (300 minutes on the recorded free plan), and like other notetakers Otter is only as accurate as audio quality and speaker overlap allow. Organizations with strict recording consent rules still need a clear policy before enabling auto-join bots.

- Real-time transcription and automated meeting summaries
- Live in-meeting chat/Q&A over the transcript
