Otter Transcribe Voice Notes

The editing on iOS is full of bugs, doesn’t really work. I wasn’t able to edit the note title of a note that was shared with me. Unmarkinh doesn’t work. Text editing is buggy, doesn’t instantly open text pad. Sometimes it just starts playing the audio randomly in editing mode…way to go! BUT: The app is a gamechanger to me, started using it to eg. record keynotes and talks during conferences, and worked really well, plus I was able to focus on the content. Summary feature is awesome.

Worst is the editor. So inaccurate and difficult to edit a transcription, very often very flawed, it’ll drive you nuts.

Just want to do stuff on my phone with my data and my phone which are my possessions and belong to me in a way that I truly have full control over. Get tired of how with products like these that operates in a way where it forces on me to make it the norm that my privacy, autonomy and ownership over what I speak, data that comes from my own brain, objects like my phone that I paid for, etc are constantly being chipped at and slipping away. I wish I could have software on my phone that I use for my private business that has no connection to the outside world and I truly get to choose 100% what, when and how my data and activity leaves my phone according to what's genuinely best for me rather than the software provider.

This is a very good app for transcript voice to text. may I suggest that during these testing times that the makers of this brilliant app that they open it up to the pro version so that people struggling working home office can have some assistance by having written notes from telephone meetings. We all need to step up and help eachother during these testing times!

Works surprisingly well except for the allocation to the actual speaker, also the 'rematch speakers' doesn't solve as hoped. Main missing feature for me is German which I absolutely need.

Otter used to be an easy to use AI to rewrite your input. Now it’s become something I can’t even use to do that basic function! I would cancel my membership if I had already paid for lifetime membership.

It’s an ok tool that will give bullet points and transcribe your conversations (somewhat) however it has a hard time distinguishing who is talking and the platform is very glitchy. Often times you will get clear audio of the conversation you don’t really need but will skip the parts of the conversation that are important and needing to hear. Very very unreliable and consistent. The platform itself needs a lot of work. For example I hit record for a meeting and it made the response as if it was recording for me to come back and see it recorded nothing. Missed the most important parts of the meeting and didn’t get the job done. If you are needing something entry level work or for fun and games then this is fine but if in important meetings and needing something dependable I would use something else. In the process of looking for something better cuz this app ain’t it.

I’ve had a Pro subscription for over two years at $99.99 and was happy to pay that price based on the value that I was receiving from the App. I was alerted that the subscription pricing would be increasing with my renewal in July from $99.99 to $129.99 a 30% increase. I thought it was an extremely high increase but renewed it because it has been extremely helpful and valuable to me as a user. Little did I know they would be taking away some of the benefits that I previously had as a Pro user. Today I received a notification from the app that I used up all of my transcription minutes of 1200 minutes for the month. Previously I was receiving 6,000 transcription minutes. In fairness, Otter had sent out an email alerting me of the pricing increase before the renewal of my subscription and laid out what benefits I would receive. My assumption on my part was that because I was paying the hefty 30% increase that my benefits would not only be the same as the previous two years but would be even better. I guess that’s on me but had I known that I wouldn’t have renewed as 1,200 minutes is not nearly enough for anyone that has multiple meetings 5 days a week. It would’ve been nice if Otter had explained what the changes were with a comparison of the old Pro subscription versus the new Pro subscription but obviously had they done that most of their loyal subscribers wouldn’t have renewed. Feeling duped and disappointed. Because if this change I definitely have lost trust in Otter and won’t be renewing my subscription next year.
