Otter.ai alternative

An Otter.ai alternative that does something with the notes

Otter is great at transcripts. Syna³ writes the summary too — then puts the action items on your calendar as scheduled work, so nothing you agreed to gets lost.

Transcripts and summaries, with or without a bot

Record on-device with no bot in the call, or let the Plus plan's notetaker join Google Meet, Zoom, Teams and Webex on its own. Every meeting gets a full searchable transcript, a structured summary and a one-line TL;DR.

The part a transcription app can't do

Syna³ is also your planner. Action items become tasks scheduled into your free time before they're due. If one is still open days later, you get a nudge. Before your next meeting with the same people, a prep brief shows what was said last time.

  • checkAction items → scheduled tasks, automatically
  • checkFollow-up chaser for commitments still open
  • checkMeeting prep brief matched on who's in the room
  • checkAsk the assistant anything said in any meeting

Who should stay with Otter

If what you need is transcription for a team — shared notes, live captions for a whole company — a dedicated transcription tool fits better. Syna³ is for one person who wants their meetings and their plan in the same place.

Questions

Is the transcription accurate?

expand_more

Syna³ transcribes with Whisper speech-to-text models, and the summary and action items are written by Claude. You can read the full transcript for any meeting to check.

Can I record in-person meetings?

expand_more

Yes. On-device recording works anywhere your phone or laptop can hear the room.

Is my meeting data used to train AI?

expand_more

No. Recordings are never used to train AI models, are encrypted at rest, and can be deleted in one click.

How much does it cost?

expand_more

Personal is $14/month with 30 hours of on-device notes; Plus is $24/month with 60 hours plus 8 hours of the auto-join bot. Both have a 14-day free trial.
