Otter.ai exports transcripts as plain text with a distinctive format: each speaker turn begins with the speaker's name (e.g., Speaker 1 or an identified name) followed by an inline timestamp like 0:00, then a new line with the spoken text. This pattern repeats for every speaker turn throughout the transcript.
While useful in the Otter interface, this format is messy for sharing, publishing, or feeding into other tools. Our Otter.ai Transcript Cleaner removes speaker labels and timestamps to produce clean, flowing prose — or optionally keeps speaker breaks as paragraph separators for readability.
