However, all usage must comply with UT data classification requirements.

Note: OIT does not have a contract or subscription for additional third-party meeting summary tools, including Otter.ai, and recommends against using them after identifying potential vulnerabilities that could compromise the privacy and integrity of our communications. 

Academic and Research Tools

  • It may not be appropriate for all data types. 
  • It is still subject to UT data classification restrictions. 
  • It is still subject to the Guidelines for Responsible Use.
