Since everyone is stuck indoors and Zoom is one of the biggest ways to connect with coworkers and friends, other services keep popping up to make the lockdown easier.
Among them is automated transcription service Otter.ai, which now lets you transcribe your Zoom meetings on the fly.
Up until now, the service was able to only transcribe Zoom recordings but the latest update adds live capabilities.
Integrating directly into Zoom, the service shows an “Otter.ai Live Transcript” button in your meeting window.
Press it and it will take you on Live Video Meeting Notes on Otter.ai, where you can even annotate live.
This is how it works.
Since the feature is useful for remote work, it does carry a subscription.
To use Otter.ai live transcription with Zoom, you’ll need both a Zoom Pro Tier account and an Otter for Teams subscription.
Fortunately, like other services nowadays, the company is offering a free tier.
Use the code COVID19OTTER and you’ll get two months free for the Otter.Ai subscription.
