Otter Let Me Search Meetings From Three Months Ago

I used Otter the way most people first try it — slowly, and with a lot of backtracking.

I kept breaking this task by overthinking it. Here's the order that finally worked.

Step one is the boring part people skip: write down the exact output you want before you open the tool.

Then let Otter do the draft, but watch accuracy dips in a noisy room.

The fix that mattered: check the one fact you'd be embarrassed to get wrong

What changed: transcribes meetings live with speaker labels Now it's a ten-minute job I don't dread.

Don't expect it to be fire-and-forget. The tool handles the volume; you handle the judgment. That split is the whole trick.
