A word cloud at the top of each recording tracks the most-used terms. Transcriptions are processed in the cloud and made available from the web or in Otter’s mobile app for iOS and Android devices, where they can be searched, copied and pasted, scrolled through, edited, and shared. It can distinguish among speakers using a technique called diarization, generating a unique print for each person’s voice. Otter’s core technology, which was developed by a team that hails from Google, Yahoo, Facebook, MIT, Stanford, Duke, and Cambridge, is optimized for conversations. AISense will continue to offer the free Otter plan, it says, which includes 600 minutes of transcription per month and unlimited cloud storage. Otter for Teams starts at $12.50 per month, which is only slightly pricier than its premium and student tiers - those cost $10 per month and $5 per month, respectively. “Otter for Teams maintains the core features our users love, and pairs these with rich, new functionality designed to improve collaboration and productivity.”

“During the past year, Otter has seen significant adoption among people who want to focus more on the substance of their conversations than on taking notes,” Liang, who serves as CEO, said. Its launch follows on the heels of a major milestone for AISense, which was cofounded in 2016 by Sam Liang and Yun Fu: Over six million audio- and video-based meetings, lectures, and discussion have been recorded, transcribed, and edited to date using its technology. The company today announced Otter for Teams, a subscription solution designed to accommodate the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses and teams within larger corporations. Just a few short months after San Francisco startup AISense brought Otter, a voice recording app that taps AI to transcribe speech, to the education market with Otter for Education, it’s rolling out a new product that squarely targets enterprise.
