Where Does Otter Store Transcripts and Recordings?
Where Otter keeps meeting transcripts on Android and iPhone plus the web, and what syncs. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
Otter is transcript cloud with phone capture. Conversations, highlights, and vocab live in your workspace account. The phone caches recordings and uploads.
Same login means same transcripts. Exact cache names shift with business versus free builds. Keep signal on after meetings so uploads finish. If transcripts vanish, check the email first. A personal versus work workspace split is the usual empty folder cause with meeting apps. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.
Where Otter.ai stores this, by platform
/sdcard/Android/data/com.otter.ai
Transcripts follow your Otter login per workspace. Phone holds upload cache plus working copy. Highlights live in cloud. Match the email exactly.
On My iPhone/Otter
Conversations live in the Otter container plus cloud. Sign in to restore transcripts. Phone reinstall never touches cloud highlights or shares.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Otter transcripts to a new phone?
Sign in on the new phone with the same email and conversations return from the cloud. Phone holds login and audio cache only. Shared transcripts read from workspace. Check the email before wiping, since a second account shows empty.
Does Otter back up transcripts automatically?
Yes, in Otter cloud once processed. The phone holds a working copy plus upload cache. Highlights rebuild after sign in. Export DOCX or SRT files from the web for records, since the phone never holds the master transcript alone.
