Reviews of otter.ai: record and transcribe meetings:
Overall a great service, and getting better. The plugin is good, but I have been having issues lately where I have to close and restart it at the beginning of a Google Meet session. Once I do that, it works fine. Hopefully they'll fix this bug soon
I love the web app, but this extension didn't work for me. Here are my reasons. It didn't record one of my meetings. When I activated it, a weird pop that I couldn't close blocked half screen for the entire meeting. When you exit the meeting (on google) there is no confirmation that the recording ended and is being processed, but I also don't see any confirmation that it's still recording. All in all, I feel like it's way easier just to have otter.ai open in a separate tab.
This software was mistakenly installed / granted permissions by someone at my company, and spread to people very much like a virus. It will send out emails on your behalf, without your permission, pretending to be you asking your co-workers to install Otter. This is worse than any virus. This company peddles spyware, plain and simple.
Nest time saver when working with text2quit transcript
This is a useless extension. It takes several clicks--open otter extension, open Google Meet, then open Otter again--when I could just have the browser opened to Otter.ai and only click once. Uninstalling. Mind you I LOVE and am obsessed with Otter.ai, I use it extensively.
It works when it works. I've recorded three long conversations. The most recent recording only recorded about 30 out of 60 minutes. At the half hour mark the transcript slowed down and didn't keep up with the live video. I thought it would just catch up later because it said it was still recording the meeting. At the end of the meeting i checked in otter and it only recorded half the meeting and it just stopped suddenly even though it showed recording the whole time. I reported to otter and they reprocessed the meeting and it was still cut short. Disappointing as its great when it works but now I'm afraid it might just stop working in the middle of a meeting and I won't have any way of knowing. Otter is a 5 star app. But this chrome extension is a 1 star app. So I've given this extension 2 stars to reflect my opinion. Hopefully I am proven wrong over time and my meetings get better.
Fast and accurate. Really handy to take notes automatically for my Google Meet meetings. Also easy to share the notes with all the meeting attendees.
Best Transcription service currently.
The transcription is amazing, if you could only add timestamps according to the current time and speaker names to be attached like in Google Meet CC's, this would become amazing!!
Very useful extension for Google Meet! It has pretty high accuracy, even comparing to Google one. It's really handy to have a copy of the meeting transcript that you can search and playback after meeting finished.
Enjoying using this so far - it would be amazing if it could pull in the current speaker to auto-tag the audio. Also if it asked you at the beginning of the meeting if you want to record. I forget the first few minutes quite often. :)
