Evidence and limits when choosing Otter.ai
Word-error rate is useful for a transcription model, not a verdict on meeting summaries.
The transcription benchmark measures model word error rate across several datasets. Meeting summaries, speaker labels and app permissions are separate.
For Otter.ai, use the trial task below and check the result in your own workflow.
Research: Artificial Analysis, public speech-to-text model comparison comparison, checked September 27, 2026. The observed score belongs to the named plan or model, not the entire app or a product ranking. Results and plans change.
How to evaluate Otter.ai
A useful trial task: Record a short meeting with several speakers and verify the summary against the audio.
What to check: Review consent, transcript accuracy, speaker labels, retention and integration permissions.
These are suggested checks for readers, not a claim that every feature is included in a free or paid plan.

Score pending: complete all five checks.
