Otter for Education: Basics

The CSM DRC will soon be offering Otter for Education to students.

On this page I'll give you an overview; click the Next button below to move through the module for more Otter "how to" information.

The Otter app is available on the Apple App Store Links to an external site. and on Google Play Links to an external site..
The online interface for Otter works with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge (it does not work with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Apple Safari).

You need to play the video's audio through your computer's speakers; if you have your headphones plugged in, the online version of Otter won't be able to record audio for videos or other recorded media.
You can use the online interface for Otter to record live Zoom sessions. I describe the Otter Assistant later in this module.

The Otter.ai app is pretty easy to use to use, and the interface is very visual. Check it out:
