The salient feature is Otter.ai, which is a handy tool that allows video chat participants for instant live transcriptions of the meeting they are attending. Otter.ai provides subtitles for live meetings and also we can search key words and listen what they exactly mentioned. We can also emphasize a particular part of the transcript and allows other participants to comment on them too.
Otter.ai is the speech transcription technology and the company reported that it is a combination of deep machine learning using millions of hours of audio recordings, which were analysed with thousand of cloud-based computers to train the software and improve the translation capabilities. By capturing and analysing large amount of speech, neural network programs can recognize speech with up to 95% accuracy.
This feature is already available in Zoom app. Even so this feature is only available for premium members who paid $20 per user per month. We can use this feature free for a month. Zoom was the only video chat platform that supported Otter.ai facility. But now it is also supported Otter.ai Chrome extension of Google Meet.
