It understands context from the app you're using to deliver more accurate, formatted output.

Is my voice data secure with Lexi AI?

Yes. Lexi AI encrypts all data in transit and at rest. Audio recordings are processed in real-time for transcription and are not stored after processing. We do not allow third-party AI providers to train models on your data, and we never sell your personal information.

What is Otter.ai? Otter.ai is a cloud-based AI meeting assistant that sends a bot into your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet call to record and transcribe. Unlike Otter.ai, Lexi AI is a unified workspace layer that captures audio directly on your device — no bot ever joins the meeting room — and connects that to system-wide voice dictation that works in any application.

Which is right for you?

Choose Otter.ai if you need:

Otter.ai is a strong product. It may be the better pick for your situation.

Cross-meeting search and intelligence across all past calls
Visual context capture (slides and whiteboard sketches)
Enterprise features with team collaboration and admin controls

Choose Lexi AI if you want:

Lexi AI shares fast context across every app — your meetings, dictation, and documents all feed one AI that already knows your work.

Bot-free recording — nothing visible joins your call as a participant
System-wide voice dictation included for typing in any app
Native desktop app for Mac and Windows (Otter.ai is web and mobile only)

Why is Lexi AI better than Otter.ai?

Lexi AI is better than Otter.ai for anyone who wants meeting notes without a bot visibly joining the call, plus a native desktop app rather than web-only — Otter.ai still requires a bot participant and has no system-wide voice dictation.

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.

Why is Lexi AI better than Otter.ai?

Otter.ai sends a visible bot into your meetings and has no dictation feature at all. Lexi AI captures meeting audio directly on your device with no bot, and adds system-wide voice dictation, AI actions, and AI document generation — all in one native Mac/Windows 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.

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.
