Voice assistants have a long way to go still, but that’s not slowing an AI-based speech recognition startup’s ambitions to be the de facto meeting notes assistant, capturing voice-to-text interactions. Silicon Valley-based AISense has launched Otter, a GPU-powered app that records speech and quickly returns voice files and transcriptions noted from multiple people. Otter is available now for free on iOS, Android and the web.
Founded in 2016, the startup has focused on speech recognition technologies for long-form conversations among multiple speakers, as well as on a language processing area known as speaker diarization, which enables machines to differentiate voices. Two years in the making, AISense’s proprietary Ambient Voice Intelligence technology allows people to store, search, share and analyze voice conversations.
