OpenAI — Whisper + native meeting transcription

history_edu The backstory

Otter.ai sells meeting transcription and summaries. OpenAI's Whisper made accurate speech-to-text almost free, and every meeting platform (Zoom, Teams, Meet) now ships native transcription and AI recaps. Otter survives on its live-notes UX and integrations, but the pricing power is gone.
