§ Migrate from Otter
Migrating from Otter
The big change: no bot joins your meetings. Dettivo captures system audio + your mic locally on Mac. Diarization, AI summary, and recap automation all run without a third-party guest. Your meetings stop having "Otter.ai" in the participant list.
Who this is for
Otter users on Mac who want the same outputs (transcripts, summaries, action items, recap emails) without the meeting-bot guest and without a third-party transcription cloud.
Mapping Otter concepts to Dettivo
Otter "Recording"
Dettivo "Meeting". Same idea: capture audio + transcribe.
Otter "Live notes"
Dettivo "Live transcript" + editable notes pane.
Otter "Speakers"
Dettivo speaker labels + saved suggestions. On-device.
Otter "Summary"
Dettivo meeting analysis: summary, decisions, action items, blockers, follow-up draft.
Otter "Sharing"
Dettivo Meeting Mirror to a folder; recap email automation (opt-in).
