# 1 Otter alternative for Mac

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/otter

Live transcription service that records meetings, writes summaries and pulls out action items.

Otter runs in the cloud with an account, and regular use means a subscription. Alternatives transcribe on your Mac for privacy, sell a one-time license, or skip the bot that joins your calls.
