One of the Best Transcription Softwares
One of the best tools I have used so far. Otter has a restricted range of capabilities, but it excels at what it does. Otter will assist you in many ways and save you time if you're seeking for a simple approach to take notes during a business call or if you're an author wanting to publish a book.
Pros
1.When I first used Otter I was amazed by its accuracy and the way it interpreted multiple sounds and speakers. 2. Export options are essential for transforming your podcast, video, or other content into a blog post or recycled content. 3.Price is reasonable, and even the cheapest subscription plan provides a significant amount of transcription time. 4. It takes relatively little time to upload and transcribe recordings.
Cons
1. Earlier the site would give 600 minutes of free transcription services every month which was helpful for beginners to get started, now that option is reduced to only 3 imports. 2. The main drawback is that while an individual can create a folder under their account, they cannot share it with other members of the group or with extra work email accounts. 3. The editor's quick keys are weird. Frequently, I discovered that a key did two things at once when I only wanted it to do one.

Otter Helps Me Keep Track of Meeting Chaos
Using Otter for recording and transcriptions of online meetings has made my workload a little smaller and made it easier for me to be fully there when I am leading the meeting, instead of having to worry about running the meeting and taking notes, I can focus on the discussions happening in the moment.
Pros
I love that instead of having to rely on handwritten notes through out a meeting I can actually focus on what is happening, knowing that I will have both a recording of the meeting and a transcription to use for the after-meeting minutes.
Cons
The 30-minute recording upload limit is a bummer but I can work around it. I do wish I could use the allotted time each month in whatever amount I needed.
Reasons for choosing Otter
Otter was recommended to me by a mentor, and it has free option that, so far, is sufficient for me. The paid versions are also quite reasonable, should I need to upgrade in the future.

Great product for reviewing meeting info
It's been outstanding as in meetings it's sometimes hard to get all the information needed.
Pros
I like the option for both text and voice for review. It has been very easy to navigate through the notes and helps with reporting.
Cons
There haven't been any cons to the software. Nothing at this point that I can say I dislike. It's a click of a button and your ready to go.

Just An Otter Speech-to-Text Tool
It was fundamentally okay, but that's the best it ever got. No real complaints but I have no complements to reccommend it, either.
Pros
It was easy enough to operate and accurate enough for your work to flow fairly smoothly. And it never needed a readjustment once your voice levels were set. Altogether a serviceable tool.
Cons
For some reason I found it difficult to find at times, and it was different in the way it processed your speech, then you had to copy and paste the text and the text might be on a different web page.
Reasons for choosing Otter
The Windows tool was a little quirky to launch and wasn't as accurate as I needed it to be. The others I used laterally whikle decuding which to use permanently. I chose Lilyspeech.
