This is not always suitable when meeting with those outside the organisations. > > Useful when it works, can sometimes become overwhelmed with transcriptions and can't differentiate between speakers, time codes not always accurate. But still does save time from manual note taking. ----- ### "Poor install" — 2.0/5 > **Charles** | *12 August 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not much really, while The back of house looks easy to use, I found it in reality not > > **Cons**: The install and set up where you only get an allocated half an hour from an advisor was no good > > Not great the set up from the provider and the third-party provider Epos now was really exhausting and we currently are still off-line because we cannot differentiate between breakfast and lunch cut off period ----- ### "Helpful Transcribing App" — 4.0/5 > **Jakkie** | *9 May 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It ties recording and transcribing into one app. It's easy to use and I love the export options for both the audio files and the transcriptions as a PDF or word doc. > > **Cons**: The transcriptions can run together or be a little messy, but that's true of every transcribing app. It's still vastly better than having to time stamp and revisit audio every time you're trying to find something. It's also pretty pricey if you're not going to link it to other apps, which I don't. The value might be better for businesses that use it more frequently. ----- ### "Loving the new features\!" — 4.0/5 > **Katherine** | *10 April 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The new feature of recording and getting transcripts and a summary without having it in your meeting is great. Their email is right, that sometimes that can be awkward, and when you're just looking for a summary, it's perfect. > > **Cons**: Having it auto-join all of my meetings, and it took me a bit to figure out how to turn that off. Now, I only have it join very specific meetings, and I use the other record feature more frequently. > > I'm new to Otter, but so far it's been very helpful. The summaries from meetings are thorough and help me to just focus on what's being said instead of taking notes. ----- ### "Solid Tool, But We Outgrew It" — 3.0/5 > **Brad** | *28 May 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: •Mobile App for In-Person Recording – Being able to use the Otter app to capture live, in-person conversations on the go was incredibly convenient for meetings outside the office. (Note we are in a single consent state and are not required to inform the other party of the recording). •Audio Uploads – The option to upload pre-recorded audio for transcription was helpful, especially when we needed to process recordings after the fact. •Simple and Straightforward – The interface was easy to use, and it got the job done for basic transcription needs. That said, both the mobile recording and upload features had limitations, restricted durations, less context awareness, and occasional accuracy issues with action items or complex conversations. > > **Cons**: •Limited Monthly Minutes – Having to track usage and stay within a set number of transcription minutes added unnecessary stress to our workflow. •Transcription Accuracy Was Hit or Miss – Even in clean audio environments, transcripts often topped out around 85% accuracy, requiring frequent edits. •Weak Action Item Detection – Otter rarely captured the real “next steps” or key takeaways from meetings, which meant we still had to manually review everything. •Shallow Context Understanding – It transcribed what was said, but lacked the ability to understand the why or how, which limited its usefulness for deeper meeting insights. •Limited Value for Complex Conversations – In meetings with layered topics or fast-paced discussion, Otter often lost the thread and produced generic summaries. > > We used Otter.ai for a long time and appreciated its reliable transcription and note-taking capabilities. It served us well for basic meeting capture, and we liked the ability to upload audio and use the mobile app for in-person recordings. That said, as our workflow became more complex, we needed a tool that didn’t just transcribe but also understood the context of conversations and helped us take action. We recently switched to Fathom, and the difference was immediate—full video recording on Google Meet, smarter summaries, and better action item tracking really leveled up our post-meeting process. Otter is a great starting point, especially for simple transcription needs. But if you’re looking for deeper insight and follow-through from your meetings, you may eventually find yourself looking for more. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/202799/otter?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/202799/otter) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
