Turn an episode into a week of posts
Castmagic turns a recording into a week of social posts rather than a searchable transcript archive, and it has no free tier to test against Otter's 300 minutes.
Works with Podcast, Twitch
Speech to text you call as an API
AssemblyAI is an API for a developer to build transcription into their own product, not a meeting app like Otter with a dashboard to open.
Works with Podcast
Meeting notes that write themselves
Fireflies.ai writes meeting notes automatically inside the call itself, built for recurring team meetings rather than the interview shows Otter is priced around.
Recordings and notes from every call, free to start
tl;dv records and notes every call for free to start, priced around meeting volume rather than Otter's per-minute model built for interview shows.
Notes and clips from calls, free tier included
Grain pulls shareable clips and notes out of a call, aimed at highlights rather than the full searchable transcript archive Otter builds over time.
Show notes and clips from one upload
Podsqueeze at $9 turns an upload into show notes and clips, built around a published episode rather than a live call.
Works with YouTube, Podcast
Transcription, subtitles and dubbing
Maestra at $23 adds subtitles and dubbing to the transcript, taking the recording further than search.
Works with Podcast
Noise removal and AI notes on any call
Krisp at $8 removes noise and takes notes on any call, without a bot joining the meeting to record it.
Human transcription by the minute
Scribie sells human transcription by the minute, for recordings where a machine pass is not accurate enough.
