About Otter.ai
Otter.ai assists users by capturing and processing meeting content into usable notes. The workflow involves connecting the tool to your calendar or joining calls, allowing it to record and transcribe in real time or from uploaded files, then reviewing the transcript, summary, and action items. It supports both individual and team use with shared workspaces. Additional functions include searchable archives, integration with productivity tools, and collaboration features. Plans differ primarily by monthly transcription minutes and team management capabilities.

Does Otter.ai struggle with non-native English accents?
Does [Otter.ai](http://Otter.ai) struggle with strong accents? I do interviews with people from all over the world, and I'm wondering if it'll fall apart on anyone who isn't a native English speaker.
