Otter.ai alternative

A free Otter.ai alternative

Otter.ai is a popular meeting-transcription tool; its free tier limits your monthly minutes and requires an account. If you just want a transcript without signing up or watching a minute counter, Audio to Text is a free alternative — upload or record, get the text, translate it, and ask AI for a summary, all at no cost.
