Otter's whole workflow starts with a bot joining your meeting. If you'd rather not invite an AI to your call — or if you're transcribing recordings you already have — Typist is built for that single job, and does it with three transcription engines in one plan: Turbo (Whisper-turbo on Groq), Pro (Whisper v3), and Studio (ElevenLabs Scribe v2).

Otter and Typist are different products
Otter's core job is to join your live meetings as an AI participant. Typist does not do that. If you need a bot in your Zoom or Teams calls, Otter is still the right tool — stop reading here. If you want to transcribe recordings you already have, keep going.
How we differ
Typist never joins your calls. You record your meeting with whatever tool you already use (Zoom, phone voice memo, podcast mic), drop the file, get a transcript. Your meeting stays intact — no AI attendee, no awkward moment, no shared access.
Otter uses the same engine whether your file is pristine or chaotic. Typist lets you pick: Turbo (Whisper-turbo on Groq), Pro (Whisper v3), or Studio (ElevenLabs Scribe v2) — the right one for field recordings, noisy rooms, and multi-speaker interviews.
Otter Basic gives you 3 lifetime file imports. Pro gives you 10 per month. Typist Pro doesn't cap imports — you get 100 hours of transcription to spend however you want, on as many files as you have.
