TechCrunch reported on 9 November 2026 that Otter.ai announced it is adding support for 27 languages, its largest language expansion to date, and that once the rollout is complete Otter will support 31 languages in total. Product clearance for this item is limited to what is available now: 13 of the new languages are already usable, including Mandarin Chinese, Korean, German, Italian, Cantonese, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Malay, Dutch, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Polish, while the remaining 14 languages and the mid-meeting automatic language-switch transcription feature are still forthcoming and must not be described as already live. TechCrunch says the newly added languages run on Otter's own speech models. A primary Otter announcement page was not independently re-opened here.
