Otter AI can now follow conversations across 30+ languages

Otter.ai announced a multilingual transcription feature that automatically detects language switches during a meeting and keeps transcribing without users changing settings, alongside support for 27 new languages. Thirteen of the new languages are available now, including Mandarin Chinese, Korean, German, Italian, Cantonese, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Malay, Dutch, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Polish, with 14 more coming soon; once complete, Otter will support 31 languages in total. The new languages run on Otter's own speech models, which the company said it trained on publicly available datasets with native-speaking volunteers reviewing transcripts for accuracy.
