Otter.ai Expands Transcription to More Languages, with Further Expansions Planned

Remember the days when transcribing audio meant hours hunched over a recorder, pen in hand? Well, those days are behind us, thanks to Otter.ai's innovative AI-powered transcription service. Now, all it takes is uploading your audio file, and voila! The magic happens. And guess what? Otter.ai is stepping up its game, branching out into Spanish and French to cater to an even wider audience.

On Wednesday, Otter.ai made the exciting announcement that it's now offering real-time transcription in Spanish and French. Whether you're in a physical meeting room or dialing into Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet from your home office, Otter's got you covered.
And here's the cherry on top: with Otter's AI Chat feature, you can dive deeper into your transcriptions by asking follow-up questions in your language of choice. Switching languages? No problem. Just hop into Otter's settings and pick your preferred tongue.
Otter.ai isn't just expanding for the sake of it; they're driven by a mission to meet the global community's growing needs with top-notch transcription quality. They're not shy about claiming their accuracy outshines even industry giants like OpenAI's Whisper model.
Also: I'm a ChatGPT power user - and this new feature instantly made me more productive
"At Otter.ai, we're incredibly proud of our advancements in AI-powered transcription, achieving accuracy that surpasses industry leaders like OpenAI's Whisper model," said Sam Liang, co-founder and CEO of Otter.ai.
In my own life, I've found Otter.ai to be a game-changer. It's perfect for transcribing those lengthy lectures, talks, or briefings I need for my reporting, not to mention the countless interviews that fill my daily schedule.
There's just one thing to keep in mind with this update: it's transcription-only at launch, not translation. So, you'll need to speak in the language you want transcribed.
Also: This Qualcomm-Google partnership may give us the in-car voice assistants we've been waiting for
You can access the new French and Spanish transcription services on the web and through Otter's Android and Apple mobile apps. They offer a range of subscription options, including a free tier. And the best part? Otter.ai plans to roll out support for even more languages throughout 2025.

O serviço de transcrição do Otter.ai é um salva-vidas! Carregar meus arquivos de áudio e obter transcrições instantâneas é tão conveniente. Não é perfeito, no entanto; às vezes, ele erra com sotaques ou ruído de fundo. Mas, ei, é muito melhor do que fazer manualmente! Continue expandindo esses idiomas, Otter.ai! 🚀

オッターAIの文字起こしサービスは本当に便利です!音声ファイルをアップロードするだけで、すぐに文字起こしができて助かります。ただ、アクセントや背景のノイズで時々間違えることがあります。それでも手作業よりはるかに良いですね!もっと言語を増やしてほしいです!🚀

El servicio de transcripción de Otter.ai es un salvavidas. Subir mis archivos de audio y obtener transcripciones instantáneas es tan conveniente. No es perfecto, sin embargo; a veces se equivoca con los acentos o el ruido de fondo. Pero, oye, es mucho mejor que hacerlo manualmente. ¡Sigue expandiendo esos idiomas, Otter.ai! 🚀

Otter.ai's transcription service is a lifesaver for me! Uploading audio and getting accurate transcripts in no time is amazing. I've used it for interviews and meetings, and it's mostly spot on. Sometimes it struggles with heavy accents, but hey, it's still way better than doing it manually! Keep expanding to more languages, Otter.ai! 👏
