Otter adds transcription that follows language switches in meetings
Original title: Otter AI can now follow conversations across 30+ languages
Thirteen languages are live now and 14 more are coming, for 31 languages after rollout.
Otter.ai said Tuesday it is expanding multilingual support, including transcription that follows speakers as they switch languages in the same meeting. Thirteen languages are available now, and 14 more are coming soon, for 31 languages once rollout is complete. The new languages run on Otter's own speech models, trained on public datasets and reviewed by native-speaking volunteers. The company also pointed to earlier Work Mode and Live Assist features after $320 million in funding from General Catalyst.
- Available now: Mandarin, Korean, German, Italian, Cantonese, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Malay, Dutch, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Polish.
- Coming soon: Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Hebrew, Norwegian, Greek, Macedonian, Persian, Czech, Hungarian, and Romanian.
- Language changes are detected automatically, without users changing settings.
- Work Mode uses meeting history and connected apps; Live Assist offers real-time coaching.
