Why people switch from Otter to Scriptivox

Upload as many recordings as you need

Otter's free plan allows 3 file imports in total, and Pro allows 10 a month. Scriptivox Free takes 3 files every day, and Pro has no daily or monthly cap.

More than 100 languages, not 6

Otter transcribes English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. Scriptivox transcribes more than 100 languages and detects the language for you.

Long recordings in one piece

Otter Pro stops a meeting at 90 minutes. Scriptivox Pro takes files up to 10 hours, so a full conference day or a long interview goes in at once.

An API without an Enterprise contract

Otter keeps its API for Enterprise customers. Scriptivox has a transcription API you can use from a regular account.

When Otter may suit you better

Otter Pro costs less: $16.99 a month, or $8.33 a month billed yearly.
If you mostly need a live notetaker for English meetings on a free plan, Otter gives you 300 meeting minutes a month.

Switching takes a few minutes
