| The verdict | A transcription app with live captioning that also works as a rough transcript based way to review and mark up interview audio. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Podcasters who want fast, cheap transcripts and don't mind doing detailed audio cutting somewhere else. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone expecting a full transcript based audio editor like Descript, Otter is transcription first with limited edit tools. |
| The gotcha | Its editing capability is thinner than dedicated transcript editors, it's really built for meeting notes, not full episode production. |
