From Scribbles to Solutions: How Otter.ai Transforms Post-Meeting Chaos
You know the feeling—you’ve just wrapped up a meeting, and now comes the dreaded task of turning your half-legible scribbles into something useful. Somewhere between the brainstorming and the action points, you’re left staring at a notepad wondering if “brainstorm hippos” was really what someone suggested.
The Post-Meeting Struggle
Meetings are where ideas flow and decisions are made, but they’re also where information overload happens. We’re all guilty of trying to do it all—listening, participating, and taking notes at the same time. The result? Jumbled thoughts on paper or forgotten insights.
Traditionally, the post-meeting process looks like this:
- Skim through messy notes.
- Try to recall who said what.
- Turn vague ideas into actionable steps.
- Hope nothing gets missed.
But what if you didn’t have to do all of that manually?
