Across the review sites
What people love
- Reviewers consistently call Otter the easiest meeting assistant to get running, with almost no learning curve from signup to searchable transcripts.
- Transcription accuracy is strong in typical conditions, with reviewers citing roughly 95% accurate transcripts and reliable speaker recognition.
- Automatic meeting summaries with action items are one of the most-cited time-savers, cutting down manual follow-up after calls.
- Once configured, Otter fades into the background — reviewers describe a genuine 'set and forget' experience across recurring meetings.
- Searchable transcripts make it easy for teams to find and reuse past meeting content instead of re-listening to recordings.
What could be improved
- Accuracy still drops with accents, background noise, and multiple people talking over each other.
- Summaries can miss the real action items and next steps, forcing teams to manually re-review meetings anyway.
- Technical, jargon-heavy meetings still need manual correction of names, code, and product terminology.
- Pricing feels steep once the intro rate ends, especially for users not linking Otter into other tools.
- Default settings can auto-invite an entire company's meeting roster, generating spam-like complaints and admin cleanup.

What people are saying
"transcription with Caribbean accents are often not as accurate given regional pronunciations of words."
"Otter AI is seriously intrusive and I have no idea who now has access to a private meeting that I ensured all was NOT being recorded."
"The real-time transcription feature is very impressive, and the transcription accuracy is excellent, which saved me a lot of time when working with interview recordings for my research... The only downside is the pricing. The introductory offer is very attractive, but after that the monthly subscription feels quite expensive."
