Our Take
Otter.ai is useful for turning interviews, lectures, and online research meetings into searchable transcripts, summaries, and action items. Speaker labels, playback synchronized with text, and keyword search can help researchers revisit a passage without listening to an entire recording again.
It is best treated as a first-pass transcript: proper names, specialist vocabulary, accents, overlapping speech, and technical terms may be misheard, so check quotations against the audio before coding or publishing them. Obtain any required consent before recording, follow your institution's ethics and retention rules, and check plan limits and data-handling terms before uploading participant information.
