Otter.ai announced a Back to School promotion offering eligible students 50% off an annual Pro plan, giving them a full academic year of AI-powered notetaking, transcription, and study tools at half the price.

The offer arrives as students head back to campus for the fall semester and face a familiar challenge: keeping up with fast-moving lectures. Otter is designed to not only capture lectures but turn them into action:

• Automatic notetaking. Otter records and transcribes class automatically, whether in person or over a virtual meeting platform.
• From lecture to study guide. Notes are turned into study guides, quizzes, and exam prep sheets, generated automatically or with a single prompt.
• Accurate to the source. Built-in speaker identification ensures every point is attributed to the right person, so study materials stay accurate to what the professor actually said, not generic AI output.
• Ask across the whole semester. AI Chat lets students ask questions across every class they've recorded, not just a single lecture, and points back to the exact moment in a recording where an answer came from.

"For many students, the skills that matter most in school are the same ones that carry into their careers: staying organized, retaining information, and being able to quickly find and act on what was said in a lecture or meeting," said Sam Liang, co-founder and CEO of Otter.ai. "By capturing class automatically and turning it into searchable, structured material, students learn to treat AI as a tool for deeper understanding, not a shortcut around it.”

Availability

The offer is available now through eligible .edu email addresses through the end of September 2026. This builds on Otter.ai's previous student discount, which provided 20% off Pro plans (monthly and annual) automatically applied to .edu email addresses. For more information, visit here.
