Frequently asked questions

How is Lexi AI different from Otter.ai?

The biggest difference is how they record. Otter.ai sends a bot into your Zoom or Google Meet as a visible participant. Lexi AI records the audio directly on your device — no bot joins the room. Lexi AI also includes system-wide voice dictation for writing in any app.

Can I use Otter.ai to dictate emails or messages?

No. Otter.ai is designed for transcribing and searching meeting conversations, not for system-wide dictation. Lexi AI includes a dictation engine that lets you type with your voice directly into Gmail, Slack, VS Code, or any other application.

Does Otter.ai work without a bot in the meeting?

By default, Otter.ai joins meetings as a bot participant that others can see and remove. Lexi AI records the audio entirely on your device — no bot ever appears in the participant list.

Which costs more, Otter.ai or Lexi AI?

Otter.ai Pro costs $16.99/month; Lexi AI costs $20/month. For $3/month more, Lexi AI gives you bot-free recording, system-wide voice dictation, and a native Mac/Windows desktop app.
