College Students Use Artificial Intelligence-Powered Note Taker

Tens of thousands of students at universities across the country are using Otter.ai to stay on top of classes, reading lists, group assignments, research interviews, and exam preparation. A dozen students will be profiled on Otter's blog over the coming months, and their insights have been compiled into a helpful article by college student Sydney Kuntz of American University. "Otter is more than speech recognition. It is a new medium which captures what is said in a form that can be reviewed, freeing students to ask questions, develop ideas and participate in discussions," said Sydney Kuntz, Otter user and journalism student at American University. "Using Otter, I can record directly or upload audio/video files to transcribe. I can also add photos of whiteboards or slides from class presentations, during or after recording. And with features like keywords and highlighting, even hour-long lectures are very easy to navigate and search."
