New features include inline photos, call recording, advanced export, and 6,000 minutes of transcription time per month
LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AISense announced today general availability and a new, premium version of Otter Voice Notes, a smart note taking app available on iOS, Android and the Web. Otter creates much smarter voice notes that combine audio, transcription, speaker identification, inline photos, and key phrases. Collectively, these features provide a new capability that empowers business people, journalists and students to be more focused, collaborative and efficient in meetings, interviews, and lectures—or wherever important conversations happen.
“We believe that Otter strikes a chord with the millions of people that record meetings, calls and lectures who can now efficiently organize, search and share these conversations in a way that they never thought would be possible.”Tweet this
Since its launch at the end of February, Otter has been recognized as defining a new category of productivity app. It is used to record and transcribe conversations in real time that can be quickly searched and shared. Through its proprietary and unique AI, Otter automatically separates and identifies speakers and highlights key words and phrases.
In addition to making Otter generally available, AISense is also announcing Otter Premium. Pricing for the premium version is $79.99 billed annually, or $9.99 billed monthly. Otter Premium includes 6,000 minutes of transcription time per month and unmetered storage. Students with an .edu email address can subscribe at a discounted price of $2.99 per month. The standard version of Otter, which has been substantially upgraded since launch, will remain free, and includes 600 minutes of transcription time per month.
"We are building this release of Otter based on feedback of thousands of engaged users who told us how much they value the Otter experience and suggested enhancements," said Sam Liang, AISense founder and CEO. "We believe that Otter strikes a chord with the millions of people that record meetings, calls and lectures who can now efficiently organize, search and share these conversations in a way that they never thought would be possible."
While it only launched commercially this year, AISense’s technology, that powers Otter, is already processing over 10 million minutes of speech monthly. A focus on conversational dialog and continuous learning has enabled AISense to extend its leadership in accuracy for word error, speaker identification, and punctuation resulting in substantial improvements in overall legibility. While the system trains the algorithms from user data in an aggregated and anonymized way, security and privacy is top of mind. All data is encrypted and when it is deleted by the user no copy is kept in Otter.
Otter has also added many enhancements since its initial launch at the end of February, which are available in both the premium and free versions:
Otter Premium includes all the above features, along with:
How it works & Uses
The initial focus of Otter was to capture and summarize meetings. Since launch Otter has found use in universities as a solution to extend access for students that have challenges focusing in a classroom or taking notes. Journalists and other media professionals are finding that Otter is an invaluable tool used to organize interviews and their own thoughts, and to capture direct quotes to use in their articles. Investment professionals use the product extensively in their process to capture company pitches and feedback.
Legendary investor Tim Draper was an early adopter and maintains that “Otter is like a super-power that assures I forget nothing and can be even more intently focused in conversations with entrepreneurs. The addition of inline photos is something I advocated for when I first used the app and its inclusion means that I will only need one tool to take notes in any meeting, and since the app is tied to my calendar, I never even have to write who was in the meeting or what company I met with. Otter is awesome!”
In addition to gaining the attention of individual professionals and students, senior enterprise and educational institution buyers have reached out after discovering Otter. Along with continuing to improve the core Otter application for end users, future product enhancements will include adding features to support account management and data ownership for organizations of all types.
