Sometimes it misses words in noisy rooms. Still it saves me from taking manual notes. I recommend it for teams that value accurate records.

Otter.ai delivers reliable and clear transcriptions, making meeting notes and interviews much easier to manage. The real-time transcription and speaker identification are very useful. The mobile app and integrations are convenient, though occasional errors and limited free usage keep it from perfection. Overall, a great tool for boosting productivity.

Pros
+ real-time transcription (4)+ speaker identification (1)+ mobile app (1)+ integrations (2)
Cons
limited free usage (1)

This app behaves like a virus. After using it just once, it automatically accessed my contacts and sent unsolicited invitations to everyone—without my permission. This is an outrageous violation of privacy and incredibly embarrassing.

Not only is this predatory behavior, but it's also a huge red flag for anyone considering downloading this. Stay far away. There are much better and more respectful alternatives out there.

Cons
privacy concerns (1)

Clutch for transcribing product calls, user feedback meetings, and internal brainstorms. Way more useful than you’d expect, and has been more consistent than tldv.
