Otter is free to use for up to 600 minutes (10 hours) per month more time requires a paid subscription. You can export the text or recording to several other apps, and you can create folders within the app to organize your recordings. The transcription will continue to update automatically, adding tags for frequently mentioned items and refining the text. Once the text is transcribed, you can tag different speakers and make corrections to the text, and you can navigate your recording by tapping words in the transcript. You can record audio directly in the app or upload audio from other apps on your device, and Otter's AI technology automatically transcribes the audio.

Otter Voice Notes is a tool for transcribing audio recordings. Remember that Otter needs an internet connection to work its magic, so if you'll be out of Wi-Fi range, consider recording audio with another app on your device and then uploading the recording to Otter once you're back online.

Share Otter Voice Notes with English-language learners (ELLs) and students with learning differences who might benefit from its features: Otter could be a good tool for recording and transcribing important meetings or test review sessions where it would be helpful to have a high-quality recording and some text to support it. If students use Otter to record a test review session or a study session, encourage them to export the text to another app like Google Docs or Microsoft Word so that they can annotate the transcript and continue to structure their thinking about the subject matter. Consider using Otter to record brainstorming meetings where you want to be engaged in discussion rather than focused on taking notes. Help student journalists use Otter to record their interviews with their sources or encourage them to upload sound files from other apps to the tool. However, if you only need to record and transcribe a few times a month, this tool may be a great fit.

Otter Voice Notes can get spendy if you're using it frequently, so it might not be your go-to tool for recording yourself in your classroom or recording regular meetings.
