Matt Wolfe (speaker) demonstrates how he uses the Otter mobile app on his iPhone to transcribe entire in-person presentations at conferences (examples: Google events, Microsoft Build, Meta Connect). He describes the workflow: open the Otter app, start recording, set the phone on his lap to capture the talk, then Otter produces a transcript plus an automatic summary and bullet points.
How do you use Otter? So Otter is the same idea. It's just. It's an app that's on my iPhone. I open it up and you just start talking into it, and it basically transcribes whatever you say in real time. One of the ways I actually use it is when I go to Google, I o. When I go to Microsoft Build, I'm going to Meta Connect next month. Whenever I go to these events, I actually pull out my iPhone, open up Otter, and then set it on my lap and just let it transcribe the entire presentation that somebody is giving. And then when it's done, Otter will give you, like, the summary and bullet points from the transcript that you just created.
