Otter.ai

Meeting agent or bot-free recording

The notetaker can auto-join Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet meetings from your calendar. The desktop app for Mac and Windows records without a bot joining the call.

Live transcription with speaker ID

Transcribes as people speak, labels speakers and syncs the text to audio playback. Custom vocabulary covers 5 terms on Basic and up to 800 names and 800 terms on Business.

Automated summaries

Each conversation gets an automated summary on every plan, so the main points are available without reading the full transcript.

AI Chat

Ask questions about your conversations in a chat. Monthly queries are capped per user: 20 on Basic, 50 on Pro and 200 on Business and Enterprise.

File imports and exports

Import audio or video files for transcription and export notes. Basic allows 3 imports in total and mp3 or txt export; paid plans add pdf, docx and srt.

Integrations and MCP server

Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier integrations start on Pro. An MCP server is listed on every plan, while the Otter API and webhooks are Enterprise only.

VOMO

Transcripts with speaker labels

Transcripts come back in paragraphs with speaker labels and timestamps. VOMO cites 95%+ accuracy across more than 90 languages, including meetings that switch between languages.

Record, upload or paste a link

Record live, upload up to 10 audio or video files at once, or paste a YouTube link. Recordings longer than 3 hours are handled without splitting; YouTube videos need existing captions.

Smart Notes

Each transcript becomes an editable note with a summary, key takeaways, chapters and action items with owners, written from what was said in the recording.

Templates

Built-in templates cover team meetings, stand-ups, sales calls and interview evaluations, and custom templates give recurring notes the same structure every time.

Ask AI

A chat answers questions such as what the action items were or who mentioned the budget, using the transcript and Smart Note, and answers can be saved back into the note.

Sharing, export and CLI

A public link lets others read and search a note without signing in, and notes export as PDF, HTML or TXT. The VOMO CLI brings notes into Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.
