Otter just made it even easier to catch up on Zoom meetings you can’t (or don’t want to) attend.
The AI-based audio transcription service has launched a new feature, Otter Assistant, which automatically joins and transcribes Zoom meetings for you, according to TechCrunch.
The new feature comes a year after Otter launched its “Live Video Meeting Notes” feature, which allowed paying subscribers to open a real-time transcription for people actually attending Zoom calls, and months after rolling out “Live Notes,” which turns Zoom call audio into accurate captions.
