The transcription function of the tool. I used to be worried I'd miss something important and have to go back to the recording and re-listen to the whole thing. With Otter, I can simply read through what was said.

Otter has multiple functions that allow you to import recording files, live audio and website links for transcription--there are so many options! The free version, which is a huge perk, allows you to import two files a month and unlimited live recordings for transcription. It separates the speakers for you and time stamps to make it easy to go back and reference the original audio file or meeting, should you need to. Having a free transcription service is a huge plus, especially as a reporter who spends countless hours sifting through and transcribing interviews and meetings for every story.

Otter is super easy to use, just start the recording and your meeting or training quickly has a transcript for later review. Especially helpful when you are totally engaged and don't have time to take notes.
