Otter AI can now follow conversations across 30+ languages

Otter AI, a note-taking tool, has expanded its multilingual capabilities by adding support for 27 new languages, including Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and Portuguese, and is developing a feature that can automatically detect and follow conversations when speakers switch between languages during a meeting. The new languages are available now, with the remaining 14 languages, including Swedish and Arabic, coming soon. Otter's update aims to address the challenge of language barriers for global teams and make its platform more accessible to international teams. The company has also introduced Work Mode, a feature that uses meeting history and connected apps to help users prepare for upcoming calls. Otter has received $320 million in funding from General Catalyst and has been expanding its AI tools beyond transcription.
