Good luck getting help if there's an issue. I have the paid version but I lost notes for 3 weeks when I thought the app was recording, but it wasn't. Apparently, the app changed and I didn't see the update. I emailed Otter, but they said they cant hellp me because my subscription is through Google Play. And of course, there's no way to contact anyone through Google Play. On the positive side, when the app works it's fairly useful. Hopefully the accuracy of the app improves with time.

Doesn't reliably work without good internet connection. The first time I tried it, I was unfortunately in a location that had poor internet connection and I lost half of the meetings I had hoped to record during a 3-day conference. This app won't record just the audio and allow you to access just the audio files regardless of it could translate it to text. It should operate at minimum just like a free audio recorder would. I would not trust this for important meetings. Super disappointed.

Hello! We'd like to see if we can recover any audio. Could you please submit a new request through this link: https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=16792365532055. Otter does require an active connection for live transcription, but offline recordings will still be processed once you're connected again.

Although the transcription isn't always accurate and there can be errors when editing the transcript that don't seem fixable, it's cool to be able to directly go to a word and hear the recording from exactly that point in time. And I like that as the person talks it highlights each word. Edit: There have been problems now using Otter, and Otter has not gotten back to me about it. Seems like there are issues with the settings and full access to Otter.
