Otter AI announced this week that its transcription and meeting-assistant platform now supports more than 30 languages, following the addition of 27 new language options. The company said the expansion extends its real-time transcription and automated note-taking capabilities to a broader range of international users, including speakers of languages previously unsupported by the service. Otter also revealed an upcoming feature designed to follow conversations when participants switch between languages mid-sentence, a capability the company says addresses the increasingly multilingual nature of global business meetings and remote collaboration.
The announcement reflects growing competition among productivity and artificial intelligence tools racing to serve multinational workplaces, where English-only transcription has long limited usefulness. Otter did not specify a release date for the language-switching feature or detail how accurately it handles code-switching in live conversation. The company said the expanded language support is available to users now, though it did not disclose pricing changes associated with the rollout. Industry analysts note that multilingual transcription accuracy varies widely across platforms, and independent testing of the new languages has not yet been published. Otter has not responded publicly to questions about the feature's timeline or performance benchmarks.
