Otter.ai

Otter is transcription for conversations — it joins meetings, records and transcribes in real time, and produces searchable, shareable notes with speaker labels and summaries. It's not a system-wide dictation tool, but if what you actually want is meeting capture, it's the better fit.

For meeting notes and multi-speaker transcription rather than typing into apps, Otter does a different, arguably more valuable job — with a usable free tier.
