Experience seamless meeting transcriptions and automated meeting summaries with Recall’s AI notetaker, surpassing tools like Otter for enhanced insights.

Why Meetings Need Better Summaries

Every day, teams juggle back-to-back calls. Notes get lost. Action items slip through cracks. The result? Time wasted. The solution? Automated meeting summaries that capture every decision, task, and idea—instantly.

Think about it. You attend a 60-minute strategy session. You scribble notes. You hope you’ve caught the key points. But what if you could press “record” and let AI handle the rest? No missing details. No guessing. Just clear, actionable summaries.

Otter.ai vs Recall: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Both platforms deliver transcription and summaries. But here’s how they stack up:

Feature	Otter.ai	Recall
Live Transcription Accuracy	Up to 95%	Up to 98% with AI-driven speech models
Automated Meeting Summaries	Basic bullet-point summaries	Deep summaries + context in your Knowledge Base
Action Item Detection	Yes	Yes, with auto-assign and due dates
Integrations	Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, etc.	All major platforms + future-proof APIs
Data Ownership & Privacy	Hosted data	Complete data ownership and export
Self-Organizing Knowledge Base	N/A	Yes—summaries, docs and recordings link themselves
Augmented Browsing	N/A	Real-time suggestions from past meetings

Otter.ai Strengths

Otter.ai Limitations

Real-World Example

Last month, I led a product-roadmap meeting with six stakeholders. Normally, I’d spend hours combing through my notes. This time? I hit “record.” Forty minutes later, I had a crisp summary, 10 action items assigned, and a shareable link. The team loved it. And I saved nearly two hours.

The Bottom Line

Automated meeting summaries aren’t just a nice-to-have. They’re essential for productivity. While Otter.ai offers solid transcription, it can’t match Recall’s rich knowledge base, real-time linking, and robust privacy. If you’re serious about getting more done, it’s time to make the switch.
