Otter.ai - Productivity AI Tool

Transcription that has been good for years.

Otter records and transcribes meetings in real time\, producing a live searchable transcript you can follow while the call is still running.

It is the most established tool in this category and the live transcript is its edge — useful for accessibility and for anyone who joins late. The free tier is limited to 300 minutes a month\, which is enough to judge whether the accuracy suits your meetings.
