## AI overview

Otter.ai is expanding to 31 supported languages and plans a feature that automatically detects when speakers switch languages during a meeting, continuing transcription without users changing settings. Thirteen of the 27 added languages are available now; 14 are coming soon. The new languages use Otter's own speech models, trained on publicly available datasets and reviewed by native-speaking volunteers for transcript accuracy. The article describes the language-switching feature as upcoming.
