Vocabulary customisation for technical jargon and proper nouns significantly improves accuracy in specialist domains
AI Chat mid-meeting allows a participant to catch up on a missed segment without interrupting the speaker

AI summaries are generic — less structured than Fireflies' action item extraction for sales contexts
Otter Pilot is capped at 3 meetings/month on the free plan
CRM integrations are limited — no native Salesforce push on standard plans
Audio file transcription is slower than real-time and has a 10x duration cap
