Otter.ai Integrates with Microsoft Teams, Google Meet & Cisco Webex

Otter.ai Expands Meeting Transcription to Additional Platforms

Otter.ai, a leading provider of AI-driven voice transcription, is broadening the availability of its Otter Assistant feature. This expansion now includes support for Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Cisco Webex.

The initial release of Otter Assistant was focused on Zoom users, debuting in May of this year. This latest update significantly increases the service’s reach, enabling transcription across a wider range of popular meeting platforms.

How Otter Assistant Works

Otter Assistant is designed to automatically join scheduled meetings and perform several key functions. These include recording audio, generating detailed notes, and distributing transcripts to all attendees.

A significant benefit is the ability to stay informed even when unable to attend a meeting directly. Users can review the recorded notes and transcripts at their convenience, ensuring they remain up-to-date on important discussions.

The tool proves particularly useful when dealing with scheduling conflicts or large meetings where only specific segments are relevant to an individual’s responsibilities.

Setting Up and Utilizing the Assistant

To activate the new functionality, users must integrate their calendars with the Otter.ai service. The assistant will then automatically join all future scheduled meetings.

For complete transparency, the assistant will be visible as a distinct participant within each meeting.

Company Statement and Benefits

“As more organizations embrace hybrid work environments, with employees meeting both in-person and remotely, the need for effective team communication tools is growing,” stated Sam Liang, co-founder and CEO of Otter.ai.

“We are pleased to enhance the accessibility and ease of use of Otter.ai, regardless of the location or method through which meetings are conducted and attended.”

Availability and Pricing

This new integration is a valuable asset for individuals who participate in meetings across multiple platforms, providing a centralized location for all meeting documentation.

The Otter Assistant is currently available to subscribers of Otter.ai Business plans. These plans begin at $20 per month and include features such as:

• Two-factor authentication
• Advanced search capabilities
• Audio file import functionality
• Custom vocabulary creation
