Rival videoconferencing platforms such a Google Meet and Microsoft Teams already offer a comprehensive in-meeting closed captioning service. (These features are only available if the meeting host has an Otter for Teams account.) Post-meeting transcripts of Zoom cloud recordings are also newly available, along with headset support that ensures Otter.ai Live Video Meeting Notes can capture both sides of a conversation when using headsets or earbuds. The Live Video Meeting Notes integration offers access to live transcripts, which meeting participants can highlight, comment on and add pictures to via the Otter.ai web or mobile app. In a statement, Sam Liang, CEO and founder of Otter.ai, said that live video captioning is another feature that makes Otter Live Notes a “must-have business communications and collaboration product. By adding this new feature, Otter.ai removes the significant problem of miscommunication from remote work, heightening organizations’ productivity, and efficiency,” he said. To do so, users need to open Otter Live Notes and then copy the API token from their Zoom meeting into Otter Live Notes. Watson Speech-to-text is another API that offers the ability to convert speech to text in real time.Users who already have Otter Live Notes integrated with their Zoom account can now enable live captions from within a meeting. Even though it is cheaper than real captioning, it is still pretty expensive considering that there are no humans involved. Unlike captions, which are overlaid on the video content, transcripts appear off to the side, making it harder for users to follow both things at the same time.
Auto-transcripts are only about 85% - 90% accurate which can be a deal breaker, especially when discipline specific vocabulary is involved. Transcripts can be set up by users themselves.
