isLucid vs. Otter – which one to choose?

by Gabby

This comparison is done in terms of one ecosystem, and every aspect is done with Microsoft Teams in mind.

Otter.ai is an amazing tool for transcription service and working natively in Zoom. Yet if you need actionable items and are working within Microsoft Teams eco-system isLucid is the A.I. meeting system for you. Providing a secure solution for your organization. Let’s compare each other.

User Experience

First, let’s talk about user experience. Otter.ai is working from an internet browser, having to jump between applications during the meeting. Costing you time in your meetings instead of focusing on it. isLucid works in the side panel of Microsoft teams, so you can see both transcriptions, create tasks and see your colleagues without any need to shuffle through applications.

Secondly, transcription services – each platform provides with their respective pluses and drawbacks. isLucid is native to Microsoft Teams thus, having the best possible transcription in the ecosystem. Otter.ai offers speaker identification, yet when multiple people are talking at the same time, it is unable to separate them. isLucid is gathering separate audio streams, having the possibility to separate people without any hustle.

Conferencing

We have to give this to otter.ai since it clearly supports a wast majority of conference software under on belt. Since it is targeting a wider range of people, but on the contrary has fewer features, which make your life easier.
