Otter

"It's a live transcriber that can handle whoever you're talking to! You do have to pay for a subscription but it's worth it!"
"Otter has been a lifesaver for me recently!"
"You get a certain amount of minutes a month for the free version."
"Will “third” the Otter recommendation."
"It's a great app and a great help for me. It saves a recording of your voice, does a live transcribe, and can identify different speakers."
"Otter.ai does okay but not well enough for conversations."

"Life-changing app for understanding conversations in various settings."
"The old Google voice to text is stand-alone and doesn't require an internet connection, with pretty good transcription for voice dictation."
"It's good for in a pinch but doesn't save transcriptions."
"It worked well when it was me and one other person using it, with the occasional lag."
