Tools for writers have come a long way over the years, and Otter.ai is right at the top of the list when it comes to ease of use and efficiency. This tool can be used to transcribe real-time conversations with co-authors and import audio files from elsewhere if you don’t need an internet connection.
The cherry on top is Otter’s learning features that start to recognize user cadence and word choice over time. To make things even better, you can get up to 600 minutes of transcription for free every month before transitioning to a paid tier.
