Right tool, clear rules. The big new models are for hard problems, the cheap ones are for the repeat work, and either way a small firm still needs the basics: no passwords baked into apps, a person checking anything that affects a customer's money or rights, and a clear answer on where your meeting audio goes. Otter.ai 27 languages (Otter release 10 Nov; TechCrunch): 13 live, 14 coming soon; switching feature coming soon.
What was reported
Otter.ai company release dated 10 November 2026 (unveiled at Web Summit Lisbon), also reported by TechCrunch (Lauren Forristal). 13 new languages are available now (including German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Mandarin and Cantonese) and 14 are coming soon, taking Otter to 31 languages in total.
