Canidium saves hours per week with Otter.ai automated meeting transcription and summaries

The problem

Canidium employees spend a large portion of their work week in Zoom meetings, and manually taking detailed notes was distracting, time-consuming, and prone to gaps—important details were frequently forgotten and hard to retrieve.

First attempt

Gong, a call transcription tool Sodnicar had used in a previous role, was evaluated as a solution but rejected because its pricing was prohibitive for Canidium.
