I just wanted to thank monitor confers coming on a sponsoring and I hope you enjoyed checking it out. So guys otter notes
Let's dive in now otter note states
It's going to be a way for you to generate rich notes for meetings interviews lectures and other important voice
Conversations and it uses an AI powered a system now just to be clear
This is not going to be your Evernote replacement, but it's an application
You probably wish you wanted inside of your Evernote experience
Now, of course, we know that evident has an audio recorder
Well Auto note is I guess it's entirely new experience and we're going to be diving into today now
You're probably wondering where I first discovered it and that was mainly on Twitter. I
Saw a lot of people talking about it and then I was an event in
Cambridge, I think it was and I saw someone using it and
I thought New York
Actually, I probably need to check this out tend to just go off my sort of feelings for this other thing
I also saw a featured in the apps. We loved by Apple this year
So that's always good news when it's featured in Apple
Now there are two experiences to this there is teams and individuals and today we'll be focusing on teams
Sorry individuals, but with teams, it allows your teams to create meeting notes and organize interviews
So long include as much information as possible about that now the pricing you get 600 minutes
free transcription time and in the premium that's
9.99 per month with 6,000 minutes and more bonus features
We'll be talking about that in there at the end of the video. And as I said, this is not a
Note-taker per se. It's more of a way for capturing
Anything from the interview you're doing to being able to record some of your own personal notes
So I have played around this a little bit it is available on web
so here we are with utter a i'll an is the URL as
You can see here. Once you create an account you have
a stream of your conversation so you can go into the conversations you created and
Get started. So we're actually going to show you how to go ahead and create a brand new note in here
So that's probably a great starting point. All you have to do here is press start recording now
What I automatically do is go ahead and create a note. So let's say we're having some internet interview feedback
so as you can see the recording has started and
automatically the agile recording is being transcribed in front of you and
Actually, I was pretty impressed when I first tried this
The previous note which I'll show you it was transcribing at a pretty fast rate and being able to get quite good quality
transcription so this could be actually ideal if you
Using this to actually take minutes for meetings or even actual interviews. So, let's see how this works
so as you can see on the screen here in front of us it begins appearing this large paragraph and
Actually just monitors it as it goes to be able to
Judge how I'm speaking? And as you can see here, you can change the note title up here in real-time
Now it will give you information about each of these line
What day was taken and you have what's called a counter so down here you can obviously see your voice moving around
But you also have the time and obviously that one minute is going towards my 600 minute
Limit in the free account which is fairly good I'd say as a good starting point and just be aware on Twitter
They do have some referral schemes there. Are you a bit more?
So down in the bottom left hand corner
You have the ability to share it
Anyone with a link which is quite useful and you can choose when it specifically starts you can invite
names of people or emails or groups or
Anyone with the link specifically which will get a sort of Evernote esque sort of viewing option, which is actually very beneficial
Now over in the right hand corner, you can add photos. So obviously you can take them from your files
So for example if I wanted to be able to add any of the photos
Let's see what they look like if I don't press open
They are added and as you can see they appear in line inside of the text
Which is really handy and as you can still see it's still transcribing what I'm saying at a really good speed
I believe in in my opinion so down at the bottom here
You do have the ability to highlight say for example any text you select could be the whole thing
It could just be for example if I wanted to
Select I don't think you can select specific areas
It depends on like so there's a sentence you said you go ahead press
highlight and it will bring that up now the other
experience you can do is to copy it and it that's if you wanted to be able to share it with someone else which is
quite easy to do and
That's really the core features when you're editing
Now you give it a pause. So as you can see it sort of captures from there
So won't record anything I'm doing now
But if I want to resume the recording just takes a moment or two to be able to detect when the audio has
started so should
Oh, there we go. It should be writing and the good thing is it pops a little timestamp down there, too
So that you are indicating in what period of time the recording actually started again?
and I purposely been trying to
Give it a bit of a tester and you're seeing that actually it's pretty accurate and be able to detect that
So let's go ahead and press stop
So once you stop a recording, um, it'll sort of transcribe everything and what it will do is actually go into what's called in
processing now if we take a look at the my conversations view
it'll tell you how long the recording was how many images are attached includes one image and
What the status of the future is now just while it's processing which takes a couple of minutes
Of course, that's that's natural. And as you can see I've got meeting notes here
So I'm just going to minimize this sidebar so you can see here that this is the meeting notes. It actually detected the speaker
So automatically you get if you've got more than one person in your meeting
for example, you just put the recording on you can actually associate it to certain people and what they
They were saying which is good. So it not only
Transcribed in real-time but it also records. So here's the recording
Now
What's quite nice about this as well is you have it highlighted
I believe I highlighted it, but it also runs through the words as
they were said which is really good and I didn't find any problems with this now when it comes to playing back you can also
Do one x speed 2x speed and 0.5 X speed as well as skipping silences
Actually, that's a premium experience
but also when you click on any of the premium experiences you get an idea of how many minutes you have left so collectively
Still what I've used for minutes collectively across all of my usage
So that's really handy to know up here. I can also add keywords
so keywords are a great way it automatically generates keywords and
A produces almost like a word cloud. So for example if I wanted to select a tag for it
Then I can or sorry it automatically summarizes the keywords inside of there so I can go and find them
so for example, if this was mentioned several times throughout this I could go and pan through using the
Search ability up here now
If you do want to search for something very specific to like if you want to check how many times you said how?
You can enter that and it will automatically pick out in the sort of playback when it is available win
So that's really good. You can go ahead and edit this as well. So if you wanted to be able to
modify
Let me just see whether you can. Yeah, there we go
If you want to be able to modify any of the notes and add additional stuff, that's something that you can do
So that's actually a quite a neat feature
Now if I go, press done if I go ahead and press done as I said I can share up here
But I can also go to this sort of
Drop down here and move it to a certain area
So for example if I had a folder in which I don't at the moment, you can create folders and groups over here
let's say you wanted to create a
marketing
folder
Then that's what it used to do. So so that you can organize your conversations. Let's go back in and move that to marketing
So you can see it to be moved to marketing which is really easy
We should knock that down and you can also export your text now
You can export it in a variety of formats including PDF clipboard
SRT and include speaker names include speaker timestamps and merge same so this could actually technically be used as
a
YouTube for example if I wanted to transcribe all my videos in
Better quality than my sort of experience now then I could do so that's it exporting the text abilities
You can actually explore the audio
So you can see here that it automatically uploads it there
So if I go down here as well, I can rematch the speaker
So if you've got multiple speakers in a group, so for example if you and your team has that
You can automatically do that too. That's quite smart. And you can also delete that note right there
So if I go back and we go to the recording we just made
It actually you can actually see the images these keywords. It's detected and a full outline of what was mentioned
Now as you can see, it's this is gonna be a little bit of a longer recording
so as soon as you move the the play bar the playback it automatically moves that around so
let's actually go back to my
conversations and actually go on importing a
Certain video or a certain audio file. So let's say I want to actually I want to
Import a podcast that we had. So let me just find a podcast
so that I can
Trans. Oh, that's could be it
Let's see whether that's it. Yep. That looks like it could be it
So as you can see it, you can import audio. So for example if you had a YouTube video
let maybe need some lecture slides that you're
Sort of lecturer sent to you then you can do so an audio as well
so as you can see the the signs of the files, you can see that there and the progress it's making and
I'm actually get a status of it
And so as you can see, it's just been uploaded
If I press done it will begin uploading that so that's something we'll come back to in a moment. Okey-dokey guys
So whilst we wait for that to upload I will just explain a few things
Before we dive in so as you can see here, you've got the author plans. So these are the monthly paid pricing plans
So on the free plan
you've got everything I demonstrated to you and one feature that I didn't explain which was
sinking zoom cloud recording
So if you have zoom cloud and you backup your recordings automatically
then you can sync with that service and that's really handy because if you wanted to
Automatically do your video meetings then you can automatically have that now there you go transcription minutes are per month
so 600 minutes
I think it's pretty reason why I thought that was overall so you're actually gonna be using it pretty
Decently I think in in my opinion
So premium features you in the premium
Which is eight dollars 33 if it's billed annually if it's billed monthly its nine dollars 99
You get everything inside off the basic and also six thousand minutes
Which is plenty in my opinion you get custom vocabulary. Say for example
If I kept saying keep productive in it detected that as keep it up or something like that
Which commonly happens on YouTube videos you can add custom vocabulary which helps improve
The understanding or detection of the word you can integrate with Dropbox
Which is something I know a lot of people will actually really like being able to
export all of their
Existing audio that they've done into Dropbox as a backup
Actually use these skips Island. So what we mentioned before being able to save a bit of time when listening back and
More playback options bulk export. So if you want to take all of your notes and export them prioritize support by email
Which is something very beneficial
Then there is a team plan
Which is 14 dollars 99 per user per month and you need to have a minimum of three users. So you're looking at about
Is my mass forty?
seven dollars per
month at minimum
Pricing you get all of the features you get six hours and minutes per user all of the pro features
We get centralized billing user management
Uses statistics shed speaker voice prints two-step authentication and also live capturing for events
But again, that's an additional fee
now, let's go back to the
The actual recording we've done. So let's see if it's been processed. It was 21 minutes long
So that is probably going to be a little bit longer
To do so here. We are still cord, but I've slept what I hope it's gotten this one quite good
So there we are. So it's starting to understand it. It's still processing the audio, but you can see the conversation
It's automatically doing with timestamps
So actually form the conversation memory it looks like doing fairly well
But we'll see. Well, maybe we'll come back to that or share a link in description of that fold down
Any we going is that is often notes?
I was actually looking forward to reviewing this and I am actually impressed
I recommend this for those who have regular meetings those who want to save time on any form of
transcription whether that's you just talking your notes up or whether that's you actually recording a lecture or
Even uploading some form of multimedia
For example, as you are someone in class who tends to upload videos of lectures or something else
I want it to be transcribed instantly as long as you own the sort of access to it. That's absolutely fine
The other thing I would note is just a bonus thing as I have not checked out their privacy policy
Now privacy and security is very important, especially when it comes to storing recorded files and notes
So I would definitely recommend checking it out
I've
Briefly gone over it and the Duff doesn't see anything untoward
I've also checked Twitter as well and nobody's sort of saying bits like the Google Drive sort of on a situation
So, but but again, it's totally on to your own situation. So please check it out, especially if you're part of their organization
Or even an education board. Anyway guys, thank you so much
Check out often notes include a link in description and I will talk to you guys very very soon
Make sure that we keep productive and I'll see you guys very very soon. Cheers everyone
You
