I chose Whisper over Otter.ai for integrating transcription into AI Video Summary because it provides accurate multilingual speech recognition, timestamped output, and seamless API-level access.

Unlike Otter, Whisper fits perfectly into my Python + Flask backend, offering complete control and customization. This made it ideal for my platform that lets users upload MP4/MP3 files and get subtitles, transcripts, and AI summaries in real-time.
