Notta vs Otter
Both send a bot, record from your computer without one and take file uploads. Notta's Privacy Mode transcribes on your own computer (Pro and up), and it handles two languages in one meeting from a list of 23; Otter mixes only French and English. Notta's free plan is 120 minutes a month at 3 minutes per conversation; Otter's is 300 minutes at 30 minutes each. Otter says it trains on de-identified recordings; Notta's policy doesn't address training.
