Otter.ai Expands Multilingual Support and Introduces Automatic Language Switching
Otter.ai has announced its largest language expansion to date, adding support for 27 new languages to bring its total offering to 31. A key feature of this update is the ability to automatically detect and follow conversations as speakers switch between different languages mid-meeting, such as transitioning from English to Korean or Portuguese without manual setting adjustments. The rollout includes thirteen languages available immediately—including Mandarin Chinese, German, and Portuguese—with an additional fourteen scheduled for release soon. This expansion leverages Otter's proprietary speech models trained on public datasets and verified by native speakers. The move follows significant recent investments and product expansions, including the introduction of 'Work Mode' and 'Live Assist,' as the company seeks to solidify its position in the workplace AI sector.
