Dragon Dictate (Best For Accuracy)Īlthough Dragon Dictate is the industry standard when it comes to dictation, the reason it only comes second on our list is that Nuance discontinued the Mac version back in 2018. Pricing: Free for 300 minutes/Plans starting from $10/month 2. Our advice is to try the free version of Otter to see just how well it transcribes, meetings and just about anything you throw at it on your Mac. If you pay annually, the pricing plans are 40% cheaper so it’s well worth doing as you’re almost getting it for half price over paying monthly.Įnterprise plans are available on request for company wide deployments. The Otter Business Plan allows you to use Otter in multiple meetings at the same time for up to 6,000 minutes with a limit of 4 hours per conversation or meeting. However, you’ll need to subscribe to Otter Pro starting at $10 per month for up to 1,200 minutes for transcription per month with a limit of 90 minutes per transcription. The Otter app also offers one of the best free plans with 300 minutes of dictation per month although there’s a limit of 30 minutes per session. It also includes a feature called “Otter AI chat” which allows you to chat within the app to other Otter meeting members and teammates to get instant answers to meeting questions.Īlthough there’s no desktop app, there is a Chrome extension for Otter which automatically detects if you’re about to enter a Zoom Meeting, Google Meet or Google Calendar appointment. Otter also allows you to import audio and video files which it will then transcribe automatically. Otter has many useful touches for meetings such as Speaker Identification which is ideal for transcribing Zoom meetings as it automatically detects different voices and transcribes them separately. It also works in any browser on a Mac whereas Dragon Dictate will only work on a Mac in a virtual machine running Windows since Nuance has discontinued the Mac desktop version. Most importantly though, it was the only dictation tool that came close to the industry standard tool Dragon Dictate (see review below) in terms of accuracy and speech-to-text recognition. Otter can be used for any kind of dictation although it has positioned itself more recently as an “AI meeting assistant” for transcribing meetings and sales meetings with tight integration with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. ![]() In our tests, we found Otter was the best dictation app for Macs overall thanks to its impressive accuracy, ease of use on a Mac and generous free forever plan too. ![]() Dictation Microphones To Enhance Recognition.Microsoft Word (Best For Microsoft Office)
