The free Otter.ai alternative — transcribe audio, no minute caps
Otter is for live meetings. Eziclip transcribes the file you drop in.
Choose Eziclip if
You need to transcribe a recording, not a meeting
You need more than 300 minutes or 3 imports
You need SRT or Word export without paying
You need live meeting transcription in Zoom or Meet
You want AI summaries and speaker identification
Otter.ai is built around live meeting notes, and its free Basic plan reflects that: 300 minutes a month, 30 minutes per conversation, 3 file imports ever, and exports limited to MP3 and TXT.
If what you want is a plain transcript of a recording — an interview, a lecture, a voice memo, a video — Eziclip does that free, in your browser, with no caps from us.
The transcript is editable, stays synced to playback, and exports as TXT, Word, SRT or VTT.
