Yes, the 300 minutes of transcription offered in the Basic (free) plan is a monthly limit. In addition to the time limit, the Basic plan also restricts the features available compared to the paid plans, such as limiting the number of users and advanced collaboration features. You also have a limit to the number of recordings you can store.

Otter.ai's Automated Slide Capture is designed to automatically detect when someone is sharing their screen and presenting slides during a meeting. OtterPilot will take screenshots of the slides and insert them directly into your Otter notes, synced with the corresponding audio transcription. It's important to ensure screen sharing is enabled for OtterPilot to effectively capture the slides.

Yes, you have control over when OtterPilot joins meetings to avoid 'Otter-bombing'. You can disable OtterPilot from automatically joining all meetings in your settings, or you can manually choose which meetings OtterPilot should attend. Before a meeting, review your calendar and remove OtterPilot from the guest list for any meetings where you don't want it to record and transcribe.

Otter.ai's speaker identification feature is generally accurate, but its performance can vary depending on audio quality and background noise. While you cannot directly 'train' Otter.ai to recognize specific voices in the traditional sense, consistently correcting speaker labels within your transcriptions will gradually improve the system's ability to identify those speakers in future meetings and recordings. The more you use and correct the system, the better it will become at distinguishing voices.
