Otter AI can now follow conversations across 30+ languages
Otter.ai launched multilingual transcription that follows conversations as speakers switch languages, and expanded support to 31 languages.Summary
Otter.ai announced a new multilingual transcription feature that automatically detects language changes and continues transcribing as speakers switch between languages during the same meeting, without requiring users to adjust settings. The company is also adding support for 27 new languages, its largest expansion to date, bringing its total to 31 languages once fully rolled out. Thirteen languages are available now, including Mandarin Chinese, Korean, German, Italian, Cantonese, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Malay, Dutch, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Polish; 14 more, including Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Hebrew, Norwegian, Greek, Macedonian, Persian, Czech, Hungarian, and Romanian, are coming soon. The new languages run on Otter's own speech models, trained on publicly available datasets with review by native-speaking volunteers to check accuracy. The update aims to help global teams overcome language barriers, and follows Otter's $320 million funding from General Catalyst and recent launches such as Work Mode and Live Assist.
