- Otter.ai has announced Live Video Meeting Notes — which enables participants to have access to live interactive transcripts directly from a video conference or after a meeting
Today Otter.ai announced the availability of Live Video Meeting Notes — which enables participants to have access to live interactive transcripts directly from a video conference or after a meeting. And Otter.ai Live Video Meeting Notes enables users to access some of the same real-time features available in Otter Voice Meeting Notes, launched directly from a video conferencing platform.
Otter Live Video Meeting Notes is available now for Otter for Teams and Zoom Pro subscribers or higher. This is the first of many video collaboration integrations.
In order to support remote workers and distance learners, Otter.ai is also offering two months of free service when users sign up for Otter for Teams using the promo code: COVID19OTTER.
Otter Live Video Meeting Notes is ideal for business users working from home and students attending classes online who want to highlight, share, search, and review their notes. And team members can feel confident that their colleagues will generate and share secure quality notes so they can quickly get the information they need when they miss a meeting.
Otter is an especially valuable productivity tool for business users without daycare or school support who are juggling back-to-back video meetings and may not be able to join a meeting or want to refer later to the meeting notes.
Otter usage with Zoom meetings increased by over 5 times in the past few weeks and the company is seeing a high amount of new sign-ups from remote workers and distance learning. So far, Otter has transcribed more than 25 million meetings, accounting for more than 750 million transcribed meeting minutes to date.
