While the coronavirus has put a halt to all of that for now, I still have to get on a ton of video conferencing calls. So, I appreciate any tool that helps me with recording and transcribing.<\/p>\n<p>Today, one of those apps, <a href=\"http:\/\/otter.ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Otter.ai<\/a>, announced that its new Chrome extension will allow users to transcribe Google Meet calls directly from the browser.<span>&nbsp;That\u2019s an&nbsp;<\/span><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">extremely<\/i><span>&nbsp;handy feature \u2014 so you should be incredibly excited<\/span>. A lot of my interviews are scheduled over Google Meet, and till now, I had to listen to them on the laptop&nbsp;speaker <span>and record them on my phone for live transcription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;But this is ancient history now. With the new feature, once your meeting is finished<\/span>, you can look at the full transcript on Otter\u2019s website or app, and search for keywords as well.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iu2N44Por-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Along with this, Otter will also enable live notes and transcription for Google Meet calls. Now, I\u2019ve seen some transcription technology, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/6373554?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">YouTube\u2019s live captioning<\/a>, and it doesn\u2019t work very well with Indian accents. But I\u2019ll be happy to give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/distract\/2020\/12\/21\/how-netflix-shapes-mainstream-culture-explained-by-data\/\">How Netflix shapes mainstream culture, explained by data<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>These features are available to all Otter customers \u2014 basic, pro, and business \u2014 starting today. Basic (free) users can transcribe up to 600 minutes of meetings per month, and if you don\u2019t have to record too many calls, that\u2019s good enough.<\/p>\n<p>Last April, the company rolled out <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.otter.ai\/zoom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">a similar integration with Zoom<\/a>.
