What is Otter.ai CLI?
The Otter.ai CLI skill empowers developers and power users to interact with their Otter.ai account without leaving the terminal. It provides a robust set of tools for listing recent meetings, searching through transcripts for specific keywords, and uploading new audio files for automated transcription. This Openclaw Skills integration bridges the gap between voice-to-text data and local developer workflows.\n\nWith support for multiple export formats and JSON output, this skill is ideal for automating the ingestion of meeting data into personal knowledge management systems or team documentation. It handles authentication securely via the OS keychain and supports environment variables for CI/CD or automated agent environments.
Otter.ai CLI Use Cases
- Searching for specific project keywords across months of meeting transcripts.\n- Downloading meeting notes as Markdown files with custom frontmatter for Obsidian or Notion.\n- Batch moving speeches into organized folders based on project names.\n- Uploading voice memos or recording files directly to Otter.ai for processing.\n- Automating the retrieval of shared meeting notes from team members.
How Otter.ai CLI Works
- Authenticate using the login command to store credentials securely in the OS keychain.\n2. Execute a speech list command to retrieve a list of recent recordings and their unique identifiers (otids).\n3. Use the otid to perform actions such as fetching full transcripts or searching for specific phrases within a speech.\n4. Download the processed data in preferred formats like PDF, Markdown, or MP3 for local storage or analysis.\n5. Organize the workspace by creating folders, moving items to trash, or tagging speakers within a transcript.
