Otter Turned My Meetings Into Something I Can Actually Search
Here is the order that finally made make meetings searchable stick for me.
I wanted to hate this. I treated make meetings searchable like a chore until I found a way to make it a ten-minute job.
I reach for Otter for this. transcribes meetings live with speaker labels you can search.
I finish by doing the one thing the tool cannot: judge whether this is actually good. Otter handles the volume; you handle the call.
The step most people rush: review the output in place instead of regenerating from scratch. But here is the thing. Otter lets accuracy dip in a noisy room and the summary is hit or miss, so a quick edit beats a fresh prompt almost every time.
Step one is the boring part people skip: name the one result you want before you touch the tool. What actually happened: The model cannot fix a vague goal, and a vague prompt just moves your confusion into its output.
The catch is lets accuracy dip in a noisy room and the summary is hit or miss. Watch that before you blame the tool.
I still do the thinking. Otter just does the assembly, and that is the right division of labor.
