PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is Otter.ai?

Pre-call briefs, live coaching, and CRM sync support sales, education, media, and recruiting workflows. Channels group recordings by team or project. A free Basic plan offers 300 monthly transcription minutes; paid Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers add higher limits, advanced workflows, and admin controls.
