Otter AI: Your Note-Taking Ally
Otter AI is designed to seamlessly transcribe spoken words, making it an invaluable asset for students attending lectures, seminars, or workshops. Here’s how it can transform your note-taking experience:
Accurate Transcription
Imagine never missing a word during a lecture or discussion. Otter AI’s voice recognition technology captures every spoken word with remarkable accuracy. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who rely on thorough and precise notes for their studies.
The video guide above demonstrates this in live action.
Dynamic Note-Taking
Otter goes beyond mere transcription. It allows you to enhance your notes by inserting images, highlights, and comments as you record. This feature is a game-changer for visual learners or those who find it helpful to supplement their text notes with visual aids. Check out the video guide to see this in action.
Speaker Identification
In a classroom or seminar setting, there are often multiple speakers. Otter AI takes the initiative to identify different speakers and labels them accordingly. This makes it easier to distinguish who said what, facilitating better organization and comprehension of your notes.
Adding Images to Your Notes
One of the standout features of Otter AI is its ability to incorporate images seamlessly into your notes. This can be a game-changer when you need to capture visuals or slides presented during a lecture. Here’s how to do it using the Windows Snipping Tool:
Launch the Snipping Tool on your Windows PC.
Capture the image you want from the lecture, such as a slide or important visual content.
Save the image to your desktop or any preferred location.
Return to your Otter AI notes.
Click on the “Add Image” option.
You can either select “Add from File” and choose the saved image or use the more efficient method of “Paste from Clipboard.”
Your image is now seamlessly inserted into your notes, providing context and visual reference.
Highlighting Important Text
In addition to images, Otter AI allows you to highlight crucial sections of text within your notes. This feature helps you pinpoint key information quickly. Here’s how to highlight text:
Select the text you wish to highlight.
Click on the “Highlight” button.
The selected text will be visually emphasized, making it easier to revisit and review essential points.
The video guide linked above further highlights how you can interact with Otter, once you complete a recording. You can easily edit titles and speakers, and jump to specific keywords. You can query the content of your recordings and receive summaries. It goes through creating folders, exporting files and audio to a variety of formats. You can also play the audio from within Otter.
Otter AI empowers students to take their note-taking to the next level. Its precise transcription, dynamic note-enhancing capabilities, and speaker identification features make it a versatile tool for anyone seeking to capture and organize information effectively.
Whether you’re attending a lecture, seminar, or any educational event, Otter AI ensures that you leave no word behind and have the means to add context through images and highlights. Elevate your note-taking experience with Otter AI and watch your academic journey flourish.
