THE KEY DIFFERENCES
Why Legal-Trained AI Wins
Key Difference #1

Legal-Trained AI Notetaker vs. Generic AI

Relaw's AI Notetaker is specifically trained for legal practice with deep understanding of legal terminology, concepts, and workflow requirements. Otter.ai provides general business meeting transcription.

98% accuracy with legal terminology and concepts
Understands legal context and case-specific details
Practice area-specific insights and summaries
Automatically identifies legal action items and deadlines

Otter.ai‘s Approach: Otter.ai's AI operates without legal context, often missing important legal terminology and requiring manual interpretation of legal concepts.

Relaw Legal AI Notetaker
Key Difference #2

Complete Meeting Coverage vs. Platform-Limited Recording

Relaw's AI Notetaker can join any type of meeting—video calls, phone calls, or in-person meetings. Otter.ai is primarily limited to specific video conferencing platforms.

Supports all meeting types including in-person
No platform restrictions or limitations
Flexible recording options for any scenario
Complete coverage of all client interactions

Otter.ai‘s Approach: Otter.ai mainly works with specific video platforms like Zoom and Google Meet, missing phone calls and in-person meetings where important legal discussions often happen.

Relaw Meeting Support
Key Difference #3

Legal Practice Integration vs. Standalone Transcription

Relaw's AI Notetaker integrates seamlessly with legal workflows, connecting meeting notes to client files and case management. Otter.ai operates as a standalone transcription tool.

Notes automatically linked to client files
Integration with legal practice management
Case-specific context and history
Compliance with legal confidentiality requirements

Otter.ai‘s Approach: Otter.ai provides isolated meeting transcripts that require manual organization and don't connect to legal case management or client workflows.

Relaw Legal Integration
Key Difference #4

AI Notetaker + Complete Legal Platform vs. Just Note-Taking

Beyond superior AI notetaking, Relaw provides a complete legal platform with client intake, document automation, and AI drafting—all working together seamlessly.

AI Notetaker plus comprehensive legal platform
Client intake and document automation included
AI drafting with Microsoft Word integration
All tools designed to work together

Otter.ai‘s Approach: Otter.ai only provides note-taking, requiring you to use separate tools for client intake, document creation, and practice management—creating workflow gaps and inefficiencies.
