Notetaking on Zoom with the Otter.ai Meeting Notes App

Try using Otter.ai to transcribe Zoom meeting lectures.

• How to use Otter

Transcription is the process in which speech or audio is converted into a written, plain text document. Transcripts are the output of transcription, and because they are plain text there is no time information attached to them. Both transcription and captioning offer their own benefits and knowing the role they each play in video and audio will help you determine how to utilize them. The appropriate accommodation for accessible video is synchronous captions. For content that is audio only, transcripts are sufficient.

Prior to the start of each semester, check your course materials to see if you have audio or video content, and determine the dates by which the students will need to access that material. Make sure captions are available for any of the media, and if so, they must be accurate. 

If video or audio materials will be required for your course, please notify your students on or before the first day of class. When reviewing your syllabus with students, it is important to note if there is multimedia content.

If you have a student with an approved captioning accommodation, please submit the Captioning Service Request Form. This form will include basic information about your course and the media to be captioned. Please complete the form as soon as possible to ensure that your course materials can be captioned in a timely manner. The captioning process may take up to 10 business days.
