Integrations
Otter's integrations extend its functionality by enabling the software to work seamlessly with various other tools. This section provides an overview of Otter's integrations, the functionalities they offer, and the benefits they provide.
Zoom Integration
Otter integrates with Zoom, a popular video conferencing tool, enabling the automatic transcription of Zoom meetings.
Functionality
The Otter Zoom Sync is a feature available in the Business plan that can automatically synchronize and transcribe Zoom cloud recordings to create a post-meeting transcript for collaboration, editing, and reference purposes. To set up this feature, there are several steps to follow:
- Pre-approval of Otter in the Zoom Marketplace by an administrator.
- Enabling Cloud Recording settings in Zoom at the administrator and personal levels.
- Connecting your Otter account to Zoom.
Benefit
The primary benefit of this integration is enhanced productivity. By using Otter's automatic transcription service, meeting attendees can focus on the discussion rather than note-taking. The generated transcript also serves as a valuable reference for post-meeting reviews and follow-ups.
Google Meet Integration
Otter also integrates with Google Meet, another widely used video conferencing tool.
Functionality
This integration provides real-time transcription services for Google Meet calls. When the Otter.ai Chrome extension is installed and enabled, it can provide live transcriptions during Google Meet calls, transforming spoken language into written text.
Benefit
The key advantage of this integration is its accessibility feature. The real-time transcription allows deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals to follow along with the conversation. Additionally, non-native speakers can also benefit from seeing the written text. The transcript can also serve as a useful record for future reference or to catch up on missed points during the meeting.
Dropbox Integration
Dropbox, a widely used cloud storage service, is another tool that Otter integrates with.
Functionality
With this integration, users can automatically transcribe audio and video files stored in Dropbox. After connecting the Dropbox account with Otter, new audio or video files added to the Dropbox folder are automatically imported into Otter for transcription.
Benefit
This integration provides a simple and efficient way to transcribe audio and video files. It eliminates the need to manually upload files to Otter, thereby saving time and effort. The transcriptions can be useful for content creation, data analysis, or accessibility purposes.
