Otter AI can do automated summaries. That’s a really useful feature when you are using it to replace a human note taker. It would have been nice for you to show that in this video. It seems like there’s a lot of mental energy being expended on selecting the right parts of the transcript and writing notes on them.. so you’re still writing notes. If the summary is good enough then that should reduce some of the need for that.
Appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
Is there a way to export the whole text (without the time stamps) – in the free version?
Hmm. That is a good question. There should be an option to deselect the time stamp feature.
They’re definitely is. At least for the paid version and I think for the free one too.
*_Just discovered this a few days back. I’m thinking of immediately paying for a subscription but I might test the free version first. Perfect for me as a Clerk/Secretary at my work. The fact that it is very good in transcribing audio to text, you can simply select the whole text and let _**_#ChatGPT_**_ summarize the whole meeting or lecture for you or give you bullets/highlights from the same. Can’t wait to try this out in the office tomorrow._*
Totally agree. Super powerful tool. Otter can also provide a summary – but I’m with you on chatgpt.
@@TheAccessibilityGuy *_A combination of all these simple but very powerful tools make us wonder why AI only became mainstream now. It’s like magic we never knew we’d ever have!_*
@@macky2green personally I think we’re just scratching the surface. I can’t wait to see the future – especially from an accessibility perspective.
I love your video. Very well explained
Just 1 question. Does it take notes in English only or could I use it for taking notes in spanish?
At this time otter can only transcribe in English.
Thanks so much. Learned a lot. 😊
Awesome! Glad I could help. 🙂
Really excellent overview of the product. Well done!
Thank you for that. I appreciate it
Thanks, Shawn! I am unable to take notes and listen in class simultaneously. I need to record and transcribe the lectures into a doc and edit and study after I get home. Any Otter AI or other accessible tutorials are welcome 🙂
Do you know of an ai tool I can use with Otter to reduce thick Indian accents? Like a plugin maybe?
Unfortunately I am not aware of any tool that can do that. I have heard that speechify has much better settings for voice recognition of non -english accents and languages.
