It does not seem to gather intelligence with use, it still only gathers about 80% of what we say and I find myself wanting to edit it. I wish there was a way I could quickly edit the summary online.

I've used Otter for transcribing my videos so I can have subtitles. All I have to do is shoot the video, edit it, then upload it into Otter and it reads the file and builds the transcript out, saving me countless hours of typing it all up.
