Most remote teams want the first category.\n\n## Live meeting transcription / AI notetakers\n\n**1. Otter.ai** - My default recommendation for a general remote team. It's the strongest at the thing distributed teams actually need: a shared, searchable workspace where teammates who missed the call can read the transcript, comment inline, and pull action items. Live transcript UX is its signature feature. Starts around $8.33/user/mo with a usable free tier. Main catch: language support is thin (English, French, Spanish).\n\n**2. Fireflies.ai** - Pick this over Otter if you have a sales team or a CRM. It auto-logs calls to Salesforce/HubSpot, covers Zoom, Meet, Teams plus 10+ other platforms, and handles 100+ languages - so it's the better call for international teams. Tests put it slightly ahead of Otter on accuracy (~91% vs ~90%). From $10/user/mo.\n\n**3. Fathom** - The best value, full stop. Its free plan includes *unlimited* recording and transcription with no minute caps across Zoom, Meet, and Teams, ~95% accuracy, 38 languages.
