Why switch from Otter.ai to a different transcription tool?

3 main reasons: 1) Accuracy: Otter.ai was optimized for American English — for other languages and accents, it makes errors on proper names and colloquial expressions. 2) Price: Otter charges in USD ($16.99/month). The equivalent plan on VoxScriber costs $19.90/month with higher accuracy. 3) Support: Otter.ai has no non-English support — all documentation, FAQs, and customer service are in English.

Does VoxScriber completely replace Otter.ai?

For most use cases, yes. VoxScriber covers: meeting transcription (Zoom/Meet/Teams), podcasts, interviews, WhatsApp, and any audio/video file. What Otter has that VoxScriber doesn't: a Chrome extension for live transcription during the meeting (VoxScriber works with uploaded recorded files). If you need real-time transcription during the meeting, consider using Tactiq for live + VoxScriber for recordings.

How do I migrate my transcripts from Otter.ai?

Otter.ai allows exporting transcripts in TXT, DOCX, and SRT. To export in bulk: go to the app → select all conversations → Download ZIP. Your old transcripts stay in Otter; new ones you do in VoxScriber. There is no automatic account migration — it's a gradual file-by-file switch.

Otter.ai has a free plan — is it worth it?

Otter.ai's free plan gives 300 minutes/month of transcription. That sounds generous, but has serious limitations: it only works live (in meetings), exports only TXT (no SRT, no DOCX), and accuracy may be lower than paid plans. VoxScriber's free plan offers 30 min/month but with the same accuracy as paid (AssemblyAI) and export in all formats.

What is the difference between Otter.ai and VoxScriber for Zoom meetings?

Otter.ai: integrates directly into Zoom as a bot (appears in the room) or via extension — transcribes live. VoxScriber: you record the meeting normally in Zoom (automatically generated .mp4/.m4a file), then upload after the meeting. VoxScriber's approach is simpler (no bot, no extension, no special permissions), and produces better quality because it uses the recorded audio, not live streaming.

Does VoxScriber integrate with Google Meet and Teams like Otter?

VoxScriber works with the recorded file, not with live bot integrations. Google Meet saves recordings in Google Drive (.mp4); Teams saves in SharePoint or OneDrive (.mp4). Download the file and upload to VoxScriber — one more step than Otter, but avoids bots in the room, extension dependencies, and corporate permission issues.
