Proposed next steps:

You need to be the project owner to select a next step.

As the initial hour of research provided a list of competitors to Otter.ai, we recommend continuing research into verifying whether these 3 services/platforms (Trint, Tetra and Sonix) provide non-branded AI-powered transcription of audio and video files with search functionality. (Please note that we will try to verify whether the final product is non-branded using only publicly available information e.g. product description, reviews, etc. instead of signing up for a paid service.)

Alternatively, we can also continue research to build a list of 5-10 AI-powered transcription services/platforms that provide non-branded transcriptions of audio and video files, with search functionality. Each request will include 5 solutions/platforms with a description of services and pricing. If this is not available, we will try to provide platforms/solutions that meet the most number of criteria similar to Otter.ai.
